Articulated snake

thingiverse

I think about reuse the octopus ball-jointing system for a quite long time. And I need something to scare my cat visiting my neighbour at my secondary residence because she's scared by cat. Hopefully I notice that may cat is scared by snake like object.... Got a solution, just need a snake head, Thingiverse is done for this! The first cat's reaction seem to be "good".... Hope my neighbour isn't afraid by snake too! The segment has been remade to improve a bit its flexibility. Added on the 20th of September 2018 : serpent-tete-short.obj: a shorter nicer version of the head (but not corrected by majikthyze), serpent-bifurcation-4-5.obj: a bifurcation that permit making multiheaded monsters. The socket's scale is normal but the balls are reduced to 80% of the normal size to make it look more biologically credible, segment-rond.obj: segment without flat bottom. Print Settings Printer: OverLord Pro Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 30% Notes: The scale I use for the tail is 228%, the biggest segment scale is 507%, the step I use for scale is 7%... I know I made some mistakes! The head scale is 520% make it easier the clip (not easy enough to avoid breaking the head connector... After breaking the tongue by awkwardness and tiredness). Many thanks to glue! Possible enhancements The Head Making the head was quite difficult and there is some trouble as : unwanted cavities (behind the eyes by example), not-separated tongue making it difficult to print, easy to break and not printable with another colour. The Tail Making a version without bottom and without barrier around the ball would permit giving it many more positions can be nice too. The Monster Option Adding segment that permit making multi headed and/or multi tailed monster is also in my projects (don't hope it too soon).
