Flexi Rex with stronger links

There will be no more updates to this page. Head over to the new GitHub page for the latest updates at https://github.com/DrLex0/print3D-FlexiRex. This is another remix of Kirbs' Flexi Rex, based on airfish's remix. That model was most likely inspired by zheng3's 'Flexy Rex'. My print of Kirbs' model was not kid-proof: one link broke after some rough handling. I made all links more robust so this model can probably be printed even smaller than the original ones before the links become too weak. If you want to create your own flexible model, check out the Hinge Design section below. Note to anyone wanting to sell this: this model is released under a Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike license. You can find the details on the CC website at http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/. In a nutshell, it means you are pretty much free to do anything with it including selling prints if you comply with the following conditions: * ‘Attribution’ means you must always provide a visible reference to the origin of the model both on the webpage where you sell the model and inside the packaging of the actual physical product. A link to this page or just “https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2738211” suffices. You should also refer to the original model from Kirbs at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1759297. I don't care how the attribution message is formatted as long as there is no possibility that anyone could believe you are the author of the model because you are selling it. * ‘Share Alike’ means that if you make modifications to the 3D model and sell or give away prints based on that modified model, you must publish this modified 3D model. Easiest is to click the ‘Remix it’ button at the top of this page to publish your modified model on Thingiverse. If you see this being sold anywhere without the required attribution, don't bother notifying me about it unless it goes far beyond the small scale of a typical Etsy or Facebook store. I don't have the time or means to hunt down all the unscrupulous people who want to make it seem as if they created this model and sell it at an exaggerated price. This model contains about 70 cents worth of material when printed in a premium filament. Add to this the costs of electricity and perhaps depreciation of printing infrastructure, and you might end up with $2 at most. Anyone who pays much more than that for a print is being ripped off.
