The Articulated Flexi Bear is a single-print model that is designed with joints that stay together and move in unison. This creates a bending and flexing motion similar to a real bear's movements. The design doesn't require any assembly as all the parts are connected and print in place, which makes it great for beginners who want to avoid complex post-processing.

Usage: The Flexi Bear can be used as an educational toy to engage children in learning about wildlife, a playful desk companion, or a starting project for those new to 3D printing. It's an excellent example of how interlocking parts can be designed and printed to create moving elements.

Recommended Colors: You might choose to print your Flexi Bear in natural colors such as browns, grays, or whites to mimic a real bear. Alternatively, you could select a vibrant color like red or blue for a more stylized look. If your printer allows for multi-color printing, consider printing each segment in a gradient of colors for a unique effect.

Additional Information:

• Print Settings: No supports are needed. Recommended layer height is around 0.2 mm for optimal flexibility and print quality.
• Material: PLA or TPU (for extra flexibility) are recommended materials for this model.
• Post-Processing: Usually not necessary, but you may want to remove any stringing or imperfections to ensure smooth movement of the joints.
• Safety Note: If intended for children, make sure to print at a size where the segments are not a choking hazard, and always supervise play.

I hope this description fits the model better, and you enjoy your Articulated Flexi Bear!
