Articulated Xenomorph

cults3d

This Articulated Xenomorph is very fun to play with, prints in place, needs no assembly, and doesn't require any supports, although printing with a small brim is recommended for the body to ensure the head remains adhered to the bed. The tail, legs, arms and head are all moveable with each leg/arm able to move independently from one another thanks to there being a special ball type joint that i designed. When removing the brim, it is important to clean up around the head pin under the stomach, just to ensure it can rotate freely - see stomach image ORANGE colored part. Recommend Printing at 0.2 layer height or smaller as well as if you using Cura with "Lines" infill and "Minimum Infill Area" of 40mm^2 to make limbs and links solid where they are thin Using prusaslicer, I printed with PLA @ 0.2 layer height. 4mm brim on body only. 3 perimiters 10% rectilinear infill 0 support I don't recommend scaling the model down in slicer, the tolerances are reduced and probably won't work. It is for this reason I have included various printer bed scale versions. Edit 05/12/2021 - thickened the first link connecting the body and tail as well as the tip of the tail link on the Ender 3 scale model to strengthen the model. 05/12/2021 - added smaller version for prusa mini printers. 11/12/2021 - can confirm that it prints perfect on resin printer, tested using the prusa mini scale version on an elegoo Saturn resin printer.
