🐍✨ Articulated Snake – Colorful, Flexible, and Fully Printed in One Go! ✨🐍

Just printed this articulated snake, and it turned out super fun to play with! 🌀 The articulation is smooth, and the Soleyin Tri-Color PLA gives it a stunning gradient effect across the body. It’s especially impressive as a first model from the designer—really nice work! 🫶

🖨️ Print & Performance

✅ Fully articulated – prints in one piece, no assembly needed

✅ 0.15mm layer height – smooth finish and flexible articulation

✅ Soleyin Tri-Color PLA with the Generic PLA profile – the shifting colors look amazing

✅ Moves well right off the bed

⚠️ Things to consider:

🔹 A few overhangs, especially near the joints, are a bit much—stronger cooling or slightly tweaking the model could help

🔹 That said, for a first-time snake design, it’s seriously impressive—I gave it a little boost to show some love! 😄
