Articulated Caterpillar

Caterpillar fidget toy STL for 3D printing: 7 parts and 6 joints that print already linked, for bug fans and anyone who likes a flexi desk toy. A digital download for your own 3D printer. Nothing is shipped.

What You Get

  • 2 files: articulated-caterpillar-print-in-place.stl and articulated-caterpillar-print-in-place-print-settings.pdf (a 1 page PDF of print settings).
  • Model size: 164 x 54 x 9.0 mm, STL in millimeters.
  • 7 parts and 6 joints, print in place, no assembly.
  • Checked in software: watertight, manifold, thinnest wall 1.29 mm, clearance between moving parts 0.43 mm.

Print Settings

  • Designed for PLA or PETG, 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15 percent infill, no supports, no brim, 0.4 mm nozzle.
  • Bed needed: 170 x 60 mm or larger.
  • Print it in one go: the 7 parts and 6 joints come off the bed already linked.
  • If a joint feels stiff, bend each one gently a few times to free it.

How It Works

Instant digital download, nothing is posted. Open the STL in any slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer) and print it flat as it comes. Keep the scale at 100 percent or larger.

Licence

Personal use. You may print it for yourself and as a gift. Do not share, resell or redistribute the STL file, and do not sell prints of it.

Designed by us with the help of AI tools and code, then checked in software and reviewed by hand before it was listed.
