Articulated Butterfly

thingiverse

I'm totally hooked on these articulated animals and decided to give making one a try. Despite having minimal experience in 3D modeling, I managed to whip this up in Tinkercad. My daughter is completely blown away by the idea that we can contribute something back to Thingiverse and that people all over the world can now print it. If you make one, please share your creation! Inspired by muzz64's Fish Fossilz https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1276095 And most recently by FernandoCordova89's Articulated Dinosaur https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2808550 Enjoy! **UPDATE #1:** Featured! I'm completely stunned - this is amazing! I told my daughter and she's just as amazed as I am. I told her we've won all the Internet points and she asked (bouncing up and down, clapping her hands), "Where can we spend them?" **UPDATE #2:** I've uploaded a version with slightly stronger joints. It doesn't look as delicate to me, but maybe folks who were having trouble with the original breaking will have better luck. I've also added a version with a hole going all the way through it for use as a necklace. Or you can put a piece of copper hobby wire through it and make it pose-able!
