Witch Hat Snappy Cat - Articulated Snap-Flex Fidget (Tight Joints)

**Print-In-Place, No Supports, Articulating Fidget Toy**

The cauldron is bubbling, the potions are pouring, and this mystical kitty is up to no good.  With a twitch of its nose and a flick of its paws it weaves magical spells that defy natures laws.  

As the time slips away through a long boring day you may find that your fingers are growing quite bored.  You may reach for a widget but it doesn't quite fidget like the fun little friend in your pocket that's stored.  

So put that phone away and delightfully play with this witchy  and whiskered fun companion that can only be known by its true name alone, and that moniker is the Witch Hat Snappy Cat.

Witch Hat Snappy Cat is the newest playful pet on the prowl in the Snap-Flex collection.

This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows Snappy Cat 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.

Snappy Cat is the fourth creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and it's available for free for a limited time.


**Tolerance:**
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels for Snappy Cat 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:

**Medium Tolerance Witch Hat Snappy Cat:**

This model is for personal use only. If you're interested in selling physical prints of this model, please subscribe to the Mimetics 3D Commercial Tier on Thangs.

**Print Settings:**
0.2mm Layer Height
3 Wall Loops
3 Top Shell Layers
No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale.  Going any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

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.

Silk PLA is a bit softer and may not click as nicely. I'd also be more concerned about silk PLA holding up to the wear and tear.
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.

Serpentes nTopologus Hexhoneycombus

This “Serpentes nTopologus Hexhoneycombus” is part of a series of three articulating snakes demonstrating various ways that nTopology can be used to design unique topology within complex designs. It incorporates the gyroid TPMS into the body of the snake.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/z7fLPr0367s 

These topology snakes use a unique print-in-place ovoid joint designed to maximize available volume and surface area for other design elements.

This joint type is stronger than the interlocking double ring joints used in many articulated designs, so this design is more suitable for use as a fidget or children’s toy.

These snakes are 72cm in length but will print on a 220mm x 220mm build plate.

Like a “ball and socket” joint, the oval-shaped ovoid from one segment is held in place by a similarly shaped socket in the neighbouring segment. Varying the relative dimensions of the ovoid and socket allows for precise control of the movement between each segment. In this design, lateral side-to-side movement is maximized, but rotation and up/down movement is slightly restricted. This more accurately mimics the “tone” and movement patterns of a real snake.

You may get some small adhesions between segments. Simply apply a bit of force to move the joint the first time, and it will be fine after that.
