Articulated Anything!

thingiverse

Here are the 3 bits you need (in Tinkercad) to make an articulated "anything you want" within limits. https://youtu.be/NmV726FYrBk Load the Articulated Hinge Slicer and change it from a "hole" to "slice" your shape into segments. Then drop in an "Articulated Hinge" between each of those "slicers" you made with the Slicer component, aligning them with the sliced gaps. Use the "punch" to clear the area for the hinge in the original model. Merge them together! Bingo. Articulated anything you want! These scale well though printing at 50% causes some issues (weak links). I printed up to 400% no problem! (made a giant version of the articulated butterfly). I would not alter the relationship between X and Y too much or it might not print well (IE don't stretch in one axis without same in other axis). I print my articulated thingies 3x3x3 with 20% infill and they come out great. Next I am making an articulated Batarang.
