 Fish Fossilz are an amazing one piece print that wriggles, twists and bends in all directions. It&apos;s an easy print that only uses about 13gm of filament (with recommended settings).
Fish Fossilz have proven to be hugely popular so, as some people have been using them as a Key Fob (with the key ring through the eye) an additional &quot;Fob&quot; type has been added. This has a fitting at the end of the tail to attach it to the key ring. This should make it less bulky and more visible as a key fob (Download Fob .stl file version).
If you like this design you may also be interested in my &apos;Snakez&apos; which is another super bendy flexible print. View it / download it at&#xA0;<a href="../30413">https://www.myminifactory.com/object/30413</a>
Do not use support as that could stop the joints printing separately / free. Raft is recommended as it helps with removal from the build plate and ensures you can break away the bones without damage.
As soon as the Raft is removed &apos;Fish Fossilz&apos; should be super flexi.... bend twist and wriggle. Another great fun example of what is possible with 3D printing.

 Print-in-Place design of a Scorpion. The tail rotates up and over. The pincers also rotate and, when squeezed, open to grab onto things. Another fun print!
Refer to instructions for print settings to ensure it is strong enough. NO SUPPORT REQUIRED.
After printing, carefully snap/cut away the Raft so you don&apos;t damage the legs or Pincers in particular. As soon as the Raft is removed the tail should rotate up and over the Scorpionz back and Princers move and nip/grab onto things. Take care when you first rotate the pincers so they break away cleanly. Just a gentle wriggle / twist should clean it away fine.
The standard design print is approx. 17 cm in length. This could be scaled up but scaling down will not work as it will affect internal clearances and could also make the joints too weak.
There is also a &apos;short&apos; version (15.7cmlong) available which has one less link in the tail. It still works fine and will enable Scorpionz to be printed on machines with smaller build plates. If rotated to 45 degrees, the model will fit on a build plate measuring 13cm x 13cm.

 This design features multiple (3 or 4) outline style Christmas stars that spin independently on the centre shaft. The shaft runs from the smallest star through the outer stars to the mount / end cap. The end result is a &apos;new dimension&apos; in Christmas Star decorations.
This is a straight forward, easy one piece print that doesn&apos;t use much filament and produces a smart moving (rotating) decoration. There are two versions and two sizes of each type as follows:
Hanging - This version has a top mounting hole so it can be hung up. Files provided are for 3 stars (116mm x 120mm) or 4 stars (153mm x 158mm).
Tree - Made to be used on the top of a Christmas Tree. It has a thin hole up the centre so it can be mounted on top of artificial Christmas trees with a top stem up to approx. 4mm in diameter. Alternatively, insert a rod or skewer into the hole in the base of the star to extend it&apos;s length then secure it to the top stem of your Christmas Tree with wire, cable ties or similar. Files provided are for 3 stars (116mm x 133mm) or 4 stars (153mm x 164mm).
With an accurate slicing app and well set up / precise machine the design should leave all parts free to move straight off the build plate (with Raft removed). Scaling up should be no problem but scaling down more than about 5% may result in the parts fusing so unable to move independently.
Print one for the top of your tree and more to hang from your tree or other places as bright / colorful and unique decorations for use over the Christmas period.
Please refer to the print settings and images for additional information... and post images of your Spinning Christmas Stars on display.

 Crocz have moving jaws that bite... they&apos;re great for clips, pegs and a bit of fun. This is a quick and easy print. There are two versions... one without designed in support (i.e. no support necessary) and one with designed-in support where required.
(1) The &apos;Crocz&apos; file version has legs that protrude out the sides so there is designed in supports for this that should peel away easily after printing freeing the jaws to start snapping.
(2) The alternative &apos;Crocz - no support&apos; file&apos; has straight/flat sides with recesses to represent the shape of the legs. This will print faster and is the file to use if you are concerned about the designed in support slicing/printing well for you.
(3) As some people requested the version with legs (so requiring support for the legs) without any designed in support this has been added. However, only use this if you are experienced at adding your own support. Using automated support can build in support that will stop the jaws from moving and will be difficult to remove. My recommendation is to use the designed in support... it surprises most people by how well it works!

The formidable Ender Dragon is one of the largest boss mobs in minecraft!
After having to fight past Ender Men it seizes the opportunity to strike, swooping in on the player with an aerial attack.
The Enderdragon is a fierce enemy destroying blocks that get in its way.
Allow it to cause havoc on and off the screen by printing this movable model!
The printed model is able to move in many ways to strike a number of different poses:
-The front and back legs rotate
-Its jaw is able to open and close
-It can flap its wings&#xA0;
-Its neck and tail can move fluidly in all directions.
I designed this in SolidWorks basing it from shots of the dragon taken from different angles.
I&apos;ve used 7 sections to form the neck and 13 to form the tail in this model, but feel free to experiment in your own models adding different numbers for different effects.
The model was printed off in black PLA then the tips of the wings, spines, eyes and mouth where painted to add some more character.&#xA0;
Enjoy bringing the Ender Dragon into the real world with this very interactive model.

 The &quot;Revolver&quot; is a 3D printed puzzle with 41 independent moving parts that revolve / slide around a two part Retainer. The prints are all easy and straight forward and the result is really impressive...
This is similar to a Rubik&apos;s cube in that the aim is to align / group matching shapes but there are two puzzles in one with the Revolver as you can align rows or columns to have all the same shapes in a line.
One space is left to allow for the Sliders to move one space at a time. This means you need to plan your moves as you move towards your goal... of course you can pull it apart if you get frustrated with it and realign it that way but if you&apos;re really up for the challenge glue the thread so it will never come apart!
The parts are all easy prints and assemble is very straight forward. This &apos;shape&apos; version does not need different filament colors like the 6 colour slider version . The images provided creates a great result. Black is used for the Retainer. All Revolvers and the Sliders are best printed in the same colour.
As you need to leave one Slider out to make a space for movement it is recommended to leave out one of the vertical bar sliders ( | ) as the slot in the underlying Revolver looks similar so the empty space / gap is less noticeable (Refer to images for additional information).
To achieve the end result does take time but it&apos;s well worth the effort. Print each .stl separately (Retainer / Revolvers / Sliders). Most machines capable of printing fine detail and good slicing apps should have no problem with the fine tolerances in this print. Watching it come together is satisfying... once it&apos;s together, and with the Slider shapes well messed up, it can be very frustrating... until you solve it and then it&apos;s very satisfying again!
Print the puzzle... then see if you can you do it? And, if you do... post images of your success!
Please refer to the print instructions and images for additional information. A zip file has been added with all of the slider files so they can be printed individually if necessary.

The  Revolver  - One Colour Print version of this Challenging Revolving Puzzle

 The "Revolver" is a 3D printed puzzle with 41 independent moving parts that revolve / slide around a two part Retainer. The prints are all easy and straight forward and the result is really impressive... This is similar to a Rubik's cube in that the aim is to align / group matching shapes but there are two puzzles in one with the Revolver as you can align rows or columns to have all the same shapes in a line. One space is left to allow for the Sliders to move one space at a time. This means you need to plan your moves as you move towards your goal... of course you can pull it apart if you get frustrated with it and realign it that way but if you're really up for the challenge glue the thread so it will never come apart! The parts are all easy prints and assemble is very straight forward. This 'shape' version does not need different filament colors like the 6 colour slider version . The images provided creates a great result. Black is used for the Retainer. All Revolvers and the Sliders are best printed in the same colour. As you need to leave one Slider out to make a space for movement it is recommended to leave out one of the vertical bar sliders ( | ) as the slot in the underlying Revolver looks similar so the empty space / gap is less noticeable (Refer to images for additional information).

 Piranhaz are a really small, easy and fun print with a big bite for their size... when you print some please post images of what your Piranhaz are feeding on!
At standard scale Piranhaz measure just 42mm long and 9mm high. They print quickly and should come off the build plate ready to bite and clip / peg things closed. They are fun and practical as well as being a great gift.
Piranhaz can be scaled up (not down as that will cause the internal clearances to reduce and the print to fuse). Print in your choice of color... and, being such a small print (approx. 6gm filament) you&apos;ll want to print lots!
A word of caution: Some slicing apps and/or less advanced machines will find the clearances and bridging challenging. Piranhaz have been test printed approx. 100 times on several different machines with no issues other than a small amount of sticking / fusing that could be readily broken free. However, it is possible that some machines will struggle to print Piranhaz with free moving jaws.
Pirahnaz work on a similar (but not the same) way as my popular Sharkz design... but they are half the size at standard scale. Great fun small prints. Everyone that sees them will want one!
Two .stl&apos;s have been provided. One is just for fun and the other a key fob version.
Please refer to the print instructions and images for additional information.

 Fidget Spinners are a popular toy all around the world... this design provides the same ability to &apos;fidget&apos; as any other &apos;Fidget spinner&apos; however it is a one-piece-print with no metal bearings required. It should be almost ready to spin straight off the build plate!
The design features four designed in bearings. With a well sliced file printed on an accurate / precise machine the bearings should be free or take very little effort to break free straight off the build plate. As soon as the bearings have been freed add a small amount of lubricant to the moving bearing surfaces (refer images) and you&apos;re in business... ready to give your &apos;Fidget Spinner&apos; a good spin. Is it as good as a spinner with metal bearings... probably not but they should still spin very well and are definitely fun to fidget with!
You can spin your Fidget Spinner in several ways... a smooth running spinner can be spun in just one hand by holding it in the centre then flicking one of the arms from the top or bottom... or you can get a faster spin by hitting one of the arms with a finger on you other hand. As there are four bearings designed in you can also hold one of the outer bearings and flick the spinner around using them instead of the centre bearing (refer images)
TIP: Once all four bearings have been freed apply a good spray of silicon spray or other light lubricant into the grooves between the main body and bearing on both sides of the spinner. Silicone is an amazing lubricant and a simple way to make 3D printed surfaces move really well against each other.
WARNING: To achieve a great result printing this design you need a good slicing app and accurate / precise machine due to the fine clearances applied. Although the clearances used should work satisfactorily with most slicing apps and machines others may find it a challenge and fuse the parts together. Usually fused parts can be freed however the alternative is to uniformly scale the design up by 5% which will increase the internal clearances.
&apos;LOOSE&apos; Version: A &apos;loose&apos; file version has been added for members who have issues with printing fine clearances. This increases the clearance by approx. 0.1mm. On accurate / precise machines this will be too loose and the bearings will not run as smoothly as they do with the standard clearances. However, the &apos;loose&apos; version should allow people with less accurate / precise machine and slicing apps to still get a good result.
This is an easy print of a fun gadget but does require an accurate / precise slicing app and machine to achieve the necessary clearance between the moving parts so it will spin well and freely. Applying the lubricant is also essential to getting a really good spin and being able to spin it with just one hand (Metal bearings require lubrication too so this just requires the same).
Retaining the standard scale is recommended to maintain the designed in clearances and also ensure sufficient space between your thumb and forefinger for it to spin. However, you can get creative with colours by pausing your machine multiple times mid-print and changing filament... print in your favourite color or color combination to make your own unique &apos;Fidget Spinner&apos;.
Everyone needs their own &apos;Fidget Spinner&apos; and they make great gifts as well... and with this design you don&apos;t need to buy any expensive metal bearings to achieve a similar result. Will a spinner with metal bearings spin better or longer... probably due to the added weight but this does a pretty good job at much lower cost and it&apos;s entirely 3D printed!
Have fun... and please post images of your &apos;Fidget spinners in use for other members to see.
Please refer to the print settings / instructions and images for additional information. Higher than usual shells and infill is recommended as this adds weight which will help your spinner maintain momentum.

 Octo Magnetz are the ultimate fridge magnet... they have 8 multi-jointed moving tentacles each with a magnet at the end to secure notes, photos and more.
This is an easy print that makes a fun, practical and very functional solution for everyday use at home, in the office or workshop. They are also great as a gift and can be printed in your color of choice.
Once completed all you need is to get some suitable size magnets and glue them securely into place. Please refer to the post print instructions and images for additional information.
At standard scale Octo Magnetz measure 179 wide x 13mm deep so build plates need to be this size or greater to print this design. Scaling it down is not recommended as it will reduce the designed in joint clearances (for the moving tentacles) and mean smaller magnets need to be used which may not be suitably strong to hold thicker pieces of paper or card etc.
Please post images of your Octo Magnetz in use!
