Buddy Snake

Buddy Snake is an incredibly flexible snake skeleton that can be customized to any desired length and comfortably worn anywhere it fits. For my initial Buddy Snake, which is featured in the pictures I took, I made it long enough to be worn as a bracelet. Adding numerous more rib cages (Bone.STL), it could easily be extended to be worn as a necklace or even along one's waist. To create your very own Buddy Snake, you'll need the following materials: * A 14-gauge non-insulated wire (a smaller gauge with insulation might also work, such as 16+ Gauge) * Needle Nose Pliers for cutting and bending the wire * A 3D printer equipped with filament (you already knew this was a requirement) * Approximately 32 Bone.STL for a bracelet, 50-60 Bone.STL for a necklace, or 60+ Bone.STL for something even larger * One Head.STL * One Tail.STL * Any additional features you'd like to add, such as paint or googly eyes For my Buddy Snake featured in the pictures I took, I printed 32 rib cages (Bone.STL), one Head.STL, and one Tail.STL. This resulted in a Buddy Snake that was approximately 12 inches long (305mm). By adding more rib cages (Bone.STL), Buddy Snake could be worn as a necklace or even along one's waist.
