Description
The cutest little critter to ever climb out of your 3D printer! This Flexi Squirrel is an articulated print-in-place toy with a big, bendy tail that you will want to hold all day.
It comes off the build plate fully articulated. Its segmented body and big fluffy tail are made of interlocking scale-like pieces that bend in every direction, so it curls up, wraps around your wrist, or sits proudly on your desk. The sweet face, little ears and detailed paws give it tons of personality.
Print it in wood-tone, brown or natural beige for a realistic look, or try a two-color version with darker ears and nose. It makes a fantastic fidget toy, a gift for kids and animal lovers, and a quick seller at craft markets.
Why Makers Love the Flexi Squirrel
- Print-in-place – comes off the printer fully articulated, no assembly
- Super flexible tail – a big scaled tail that bends and curls in every direction
- Cute, detailed sculpt – sweet face, ears, paws and wood-grain texture
- Great in wood-tone filament – natural colors make it look carved by hand
- Fidget toy & gift – loved by kids, adults and animal fans alike
A Tail Made to Be Played With
The star of this model is the tail. Real squirrels are famous for their big bushy tails, and this design turns that tail into a satisfying fidget. Each pinecone-like scale is connected to the next, so the whole tail moves smoothly in your hand. Bend it into a curl, drape it over your arm, or let it hang from the edge of a shelf.
Because everything is printed already connected, there are no pins, no glue and no assembly. Take it off the bed, gently flex each section, and your Flexi Squirrel is ready to play.
Color Ideas
This little critter looks great in natural tones, but you can have fun with color too:
- Wood-fill or beige – looks like a hand-carved wooden toy
- Chocolate brown – a classic red-brown squirrel look
- Gray and white – inspired by gray forest squirrels
- Two-color – darker ears, nose and eyes for extra detail
- Silk or rainbow filament – a fun, colorful fantasy squirrel for kids
Printing Tips
Print-in-place joints need a well-tuned printer. These general tips will help you print the Flexi Squirrel smoothly; adjust them to your own machine:
- Use the orientation included in the files so every joint prints correctly
- Level your bed and calibrate the first layer so the joints do not fuse together
- Avoid too much flow and elephant’s foot on the bottom layers
- After printing, gently bend each section to free the joints before playing
