hinge-tailed fox

thingiverse

**UPDATE: Check out [this newer version](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3744691) for something with a much more flexible tail.** ----- I took inspiration from the flexi-leg octopus and decided to create something even larger. The head and body were remixed from two other models (links in Remixes tab), with some reshaping and smoothing added. The tail and hinges are entirely mine. This model took almost 4 hours to print at 0.15 resolution, but I haven't tried printing it at 0.20 yet. However, there's probably enough tolerance in the hinges for that to work. It also likely can't be downscaled very far without issues. I wish I could have printed the tail and body with different infill settings, but this model is a single piece and I'm not familiar with slicers that allow that. As it stands, the tail is too heavy and tends to pull the body off table & monitor edges when you try to drape the whole thing over. A possible solution could be modding a cavity into the bottom of the body and gluing a weight in afterward or using two-sided tape.
