Description

After created my tulle hinged articulated snake, I decided to work with my hinge from my gingerbread man to make an articulated snake toy! I had to fiddle with it in order to get the hinges rounded like a snake and ended up just making rounded hinge pieces and lining them up along with the head and tail to make the snake. I made a negative of the snake body to cut out the hinge and give it its shape.

 

You are supposed to hold the finished snake by the tail and tilt your hand back and forth to try to make it slither in the air.

Printing

Snake requires support in order to print tail and sides as they don't touch the baseplate. You do not need a brim as I feel it just creates more cleanup afterwards that isn't necessary.

 

Created with Tinkercad.

*Green was “final” snake design, but then I made some rounding fixes that are reflected in the attached file and that final final snake is the gold one.
