Slick the Snek is super excited to slip into the Snap-Flex collection.  

Slick was originally going to be showing off the new **Snap-Flex Twist** experimental joint, but his buddy **[Sly - Articulated Snake](https://than.gs/m/1025111)** is doing that instead

Slick is the 20th creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and is available for free for a limited time.

 
**Snap-Flex Collection:**
This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows the model to both move smoothly, mimicking the fluid motion of living creatures, AND stabilize in a firm pose, providing a premium fidgeting experience. 
 
Each **SNAP** will resonate as a symphony of satisfaction to your ears, confirming your masterful manipulations.

**Snap-Flex Instructions:**
To Lock: Push Body Segments together
To Unlock: Pull Body Segments Apart
 
**Tolerance:**
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels of this model to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

This is the **Tight** tolerance model.  For the other tolerances, please check out the other versions of the model below:

**Tight Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**

**Medium Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018181
**Loose Tolerance Slick, Articulated Snake:**
https://than.gs/m/1018185

Please try out each to see what works best for you, and let me know which version you prefer!

Make sure to revisit frequently for more thrilling Snap-Flex models to come. I'm eager to hear your feedback and collaborate on refining this model going forward.

**Medium Tolerance Alotl Love:**

**Print Settings:**
0.2mm Layer Height
3 Wall Loops
3 Top Shell Layers
**Good Bed Adhesion Required - Consider using glue stick** or a brim

**Suggested Material: PLA or PLA+**
**Note:** Silk PLA is too weak to hold up to repeated use of the Snap-Flex joint.  Use silks at your own risk


**No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale** 
Printing any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

Printing larger than 100% will make the snap louder AND **harder to pop**, so be sure to do a shorter test print to make sure it's not **TOO hard to snap into place.**

These tolerances are TIGHT and you'll likely have to snap each segment a few times before it's loose enough to snap/unsnap easily. I recommend you use regular PLA or PLA+. ABS might be even better, but I haven't tried it yet.

If you print this in resin, please let me know how it turns out. I imagine you would need a more flexible/less stiff resin for it to work appropriately.

Looking to hang out with your gnomies on St. Patricks Day?

This St Patty's Flexi Gnome is getting some stretching in to prepare for the celebrations.


He has 2 separate poses.  He can:
- Sit in a split-leg position
- Stand straight up on 2 legs


While waiting on some test prints of more complicated Snap-Flex designs, I started playing around with simpler flexis for sculpting practice.  I realized that there are other ways to make fun posable models, and that not ALL of my models need to be Snap-Flex designs.

**Check out some other simple flexis here:**

**Flexi Pug - Articulated Dog, Style #1: https://than.gs/m/1027312
Flexi Pug - Articulated Dog, Style #2: https://than.gs/m/1027678

Slick - Articulated Snake Snap-Flex Fidget (Medium Joints)

Slick_articulatedSnake_Medium.stl

This space-themed fidget toy features a small planet with a rocket orbiting around it. The planet is formed from two interlocking hemispheres, with a rotating ring captured between them during assembly. Once together, the ring spins smoothly around the sphere, letting the attached rocket circle the planet again and again with a satisfying motion.

The design plays with the idea of orbital motion in a compact mechanical form. The captured ring allows continuous spinning without coming loose, creating the illusion of a rocket endlessly traveling around its planet. It’s a simple mechanism, but the movement feels dynamic and visually interesting, making it both a playful desk toy and a small display piece.

This design is also part of a personal challenge I’m doing for the year 2026: designing and releasing a brand new 3D printable model every single day for an entire year. Each design will explore a different idea—some practical, some playful, some reflective. If you enjoy following creative processes, testing new designs, or simply watching ideas turn into physical objects, feel free to follow along and join me on this 365-day journey.

Rocket Orbit Planet Fidget Toy

Rocket_world_fidget_spinner_rocket.stl

This rose-shaped fidget spinner combines a decorative form with a simple spinning mechanism. The rose sits on top of a slim stem that acts as the handle, allowing you to hold the base while the flower spins freely. It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry, making it a satisfying little desk toy for quick moments of movement and focus.

The design plays with contrast: a delicate rose form paired with a playful mechanical interaction. Instead of a typical spinner shape, the layered petals create a sculptural look that becomes visually dynamic when rotating. It’s meant to feel like a small object that’s both decorative and interactive at the same time.

Rose Fidget Spinner

Rose_fidget_spinner.stl

This tiny UFO keychain doubles as a satisfying fidget spinner you can carry anywhere. The central dome stays fixed while the saucer-shaped outer ring spins smoothly around it, creating a playful motion that feels great in the hand. Its compact size makes it perfect for attaching to your keys, backpack, or everyday carry.

The design captures the classic flying saucer silhouette in a small mechanical toy. The spinning saucer effect gives the illusion of a hovering UFO, especially when it’s flicked quickly. It’s meant to be both a fun tactile object and a quirky little accessory that stands out on a keyring.

UFO Keychain Fidget Spinner

UFO_keychain_spinner.stl

This wooden wheel–inspired fidget ring is a small, tactile desk toy with a rotating outer rim that spins smoothly around a solid inner core. It’s sized to sit comfortably in your hand or on your desk, giving you something satisfying to turn while thinking, waiting, or taking a quick break. The circular form keeps it compact, easy to carry, and simple to use without needing any setup.

The worn medieval wheel look adds character to the motion, making the spinning feel more grounded and physical rather than slick and toy-like. The subtle “wear and tear” details give each rotation a sense of texture, so it’s interesting to both see and feel as it moves. The contrast between the fixed center and the moving rim creates a simple interaction that stays engaging longer than you’d expect.
