So I wanted to try out the articulating design. Keeping with the spring theme I went ahead and used a caterpillar as my model. He turned out pretty good for my first crack at it. I recommend using a brim big enough to connect all his feet as they are pretty small. 6mm worked for me. 3.28.18 I created a second version noted with EZR. It has less of a pitch on the feet to help with warping and I connected the feet to reduce those being easily knocked off in first few layers.. This version should also articulate even farther. I also added a small return under his head as there was a small area for a couple layers that just drooped there. Also created a shorter version for those with smaller print beds and a long version for those with larger beds. Short version 5" long. Long version 9" long and standard is 7" long. These new files print much easier. Tested and uploaded new pictures.
