Articulated Viper Puzzle

cults3d

This cute snake is fun to play with and is printed in parts, the idea is that you would give it to somebody in parts and the challenge is to put the 3d puzzle snake together. Once it is built, the snake is fully articulated and cannot fall apart as it is locked together by the eye. When putting the snake together, every part simply slides into each other, if you need to apply force, then you are using the incorrect piece. All parts (excepting tail ) print without supports but i do recommend using a brim. For the tail i recommend using supports on build plate only. I have uploaded it in 4 sections, so that it can be printed easily in two different colors. The tail is separated due to supports, and the eye is separated should you wish to print it in black. For printing: I recommend that you use a brim and at least 4 perimeters, the reason for the perimeters is that once it is printed and put together, the snake is quite heavy and therefore, you want the thinner parts of the puzzle pieces to be quite strong. layers 0.2 or lower - i used 0.2 i used 15% infill.
