Scissor Snake Construction Set 3D print model

The original Scissor Snake was quite entertaining, but posed challenges for printing and proved to be difficult or impossible to reconfigure or repair. This upgraded Scissor Snake Construction Set makes it EASY to print, allows users to assemble all the classic scissor snake configurations, can be extended by adding an unlimited number of extra stages, and even enables repairs if broken. The set includes a Comprehensive Build Plate featuring every part required for creating one precise 4-stage Scissor Snake with a strikingly realistic Python Head. Realistic Python Head Assembly is a vital component. Center Stage Assembly holds everything together. Extra Pins come in handy during assembly. Scissor Snake Pin Locking Tool guides the user through the process. Print the parts at a layer height of 0.1mm, with support. Use an in-fill percentage of at least 30% for added durability; however, using 100% in-fill yields maximum strength. Assembly involves following specific steps: 1) Each bone is clearly marked with either a DOT or DASH symbol. Users need to locate all bones bearing a DOT, insert two pin half pieces into the corresponding bearing openings from the DOT side - they must turn freely. 2) Next, find the matching DASH piece for each bone, then join the sides without symbols together, making sure one end of the pin is inserted first before snapping the pieces at the center bearing. Then, carefully push the printed tool into the bearing opening from the DASH side while applying gentle pressure with their finger from the DOT side; this requires a smooth motion as they rotate the pin 90 degrees using the tool to secure it in place. 3) Users should then orient each stage so that the DOT symbol is visible on both LOWER LEFT and UPPER RIGHT sections of the cross-shaped bone formation. If needed, turning bones over 180 degrees might be necessary for proper alignment, as improper orientation prevents assembly. 4) Combining stages is an artistic process: remember, a rule exists for this operation - only join stages where DOTS are always on one side, while opposite sides have all DASHs; this makes joining only DOT and DASH arms a strict requirement, ensuring successful assembly. Python Head Construction: 1) Unique among its components, the Python Head requires specific care during removal of support material and subsequent cleaning of internal holes before reassembly. - Insert the clearly marked DOT piece from the top into the opening in the snake head. Upon placement, you should hear a distinct click or snap as the pieces bond securely.
