Articulated Moray Eel

Dimensions (LxWxH)

185,2 x 12,25 x 29,4 mm (100% scale)

Basic information

Print in place articulated Moray eel. The body is divided into 12 movable articulated segments, which grant the model with lifelike movement, and a high range of flexibility. The articulation works right off the buildplate, and no further assembly is required. 

Included files

I have included one raw .stl file, and two .3mf files (print profiles) for Bambu Studio. The first one is single-color for machines without an AMS, and the second one is a multi-color print profile for AMS-equipped machines.

Material

 PLA

Layer height

 ≤0,2 mm

or

>0,2 mm + variable layer height

Infill

>10%

Support

None. The model was designed not to require any support material.

Scaling

This design is using an older generation of linkage system, so if down-scaled significantly, you may experience issues such as fused or fragile parts. Down-scaling is not recommended, because reliability and full functionality of the resulting print cannot be guaranteed.

Orientation

Default, laid flat on the belly

Adhesion aid

Not necessary, contact area with the buildplate should be sufficient. If your print surface suffers from poor adhesion, consider using some adhesive spray, or other kind of adhesion booster. Using brim is possible, but not recommended, as it would be difficult, and inconvenient to remove afterwards.

All resolved past issues with the model files and detailed information about their fixes will be listed in this section.
