The Scissor Snake Family WINNER Second Runner-Up Support-free Product Design Christmas 2014 The "Scissor Snake" is a fun, 3D printed toy that's easy to print without support; it comes off the build plate assembled and ready to use. Its motion is incredibly smooth, resulting in a very precise, fast, durable, and fun remote grabber. This design uses an exclusive, support-less crossover bearing, engineered specifically for this project. The cross-over bearing interlocks with the frame when fully extended under load, causing the frame to become rigid, thereby reducing stress on the bearing pivots. This results in a strong and durable toy capable of lifting many times its own weight. Kid tested and guaranteed to provide many hours of fun for kids of all ages, this scissor snake is sure to be a hit! Buy a 3D printed Scissor Snake here. Other members of the Scissor Snake Family include: Mini - A test print to calibrate your cross-over bearing for no fusing and tight motion Scissor - The Classic scissor snake, easy to print and a good size for kids Super - Once you have it dialed in, this one can be a lot of fun; it's just a little more challenging to print Magnum, also known as the Trouser Snake - The longest scissor snake in the family Curvy (Experimental) - Forms an "S" curve when extended, still in need of tweaking Corner (Experimental) - Forms a curve when extended, designed to snake around a corner, also needs tweaking Instructions: Print at 100% scale, using 30-50% infill, no support, and a layer height of 0.2mm. The "Scissor Snake" is designed to print at 100% scale on a wide range of 3D printers. If the print comes out looser than desired, reduce the scale by 5-10%, or if it's too tight, increase the scale by 5-10%. Normally this isn't necessary for best results. Volume: 51.5 cm^3 Print Time: 3 hours and 35 minutes Filament Required: 15210 mm of 1.75mm filament
