hinge-tailed fox

**UPDATE: Check out [this newer version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3744691) for something with a much more flexible tail.** ----- Inspired by the flexi-leg octopus, I tried something a little larger. The head and body are remixes from two other models (links in Remixes tab), with some reshaping and smoothing. The tail and hinges are mine. This took almost 4 hours to print at 0.15 resolution. I haven't tried 0.20 but there's probably enough tolerance in the hinges. It also probably can't be downscaled very far. I would *love* a way to have different infill for the tail and the body, but this is printed as one piece and I don't know what slicers allow that. As it is, the tail is too heavy and tends to pull the body off table & monitor edges if you try to drape the whole thing over. Modding a cavity into the bottom of the body and gluing some kind of weight in afterward may be the best solution to that. Or two-sided tape.
