It's a great project for beginners due to its print-in-place design, which requires no additional assembly after printing.Recommended Colors: While alligators are typically green, you can get creative with this model! Traditional green would make it look more natural, but you could also print it in bright colors for a fun and playful effect.Printing Tips:Material: The model can be printed with standard PLA or PETG. If you want the alligator to be more flexible, TPU could also be used.Print Settings: A layer height of 0.2 mm is recommended for a balance between print quality and time.

If any strings or small imperfections are present, you can clean them up with a pair of tweezers or a small hobby knife.Enjoy printing your Flexi Alligator, and have fun watching it come to life with its moving parts!
