Snail fidget toy that you print yourself: an articulated snail STL with 3 joints, for kids, adults and anyone who likes a desk toy. It is a print in place model, so the moving parts print already joined and there is no assembly.
What You Get
- 2 files: articulated-snail-print-in-place.stl and articulated-snail-print-in-place-print-settings.pdf (a 1 page PDF with print settings).
- Model size: 157 x 56 x 14.0 mm, in millimetres.
- The snail has 4 parts and 3 joints.
- The files were checked in software: the thinnest wall is 1.36 mm and the clearance between moving parts is 0.43 mm.
Print Settings
- Designed for PLA or PETG, 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls, 15 percent infill, no supports, no brim and a 0.4 mm nozzle.
- Your bed needs to be 160 x 60 mm or larger.
- Tip: Print it in one go: the 4 parts and 3 joints come off the bed already linked.
- Tip: 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.
