Stands for articulated manta rays print in place

UPDATE 4-1-24:I just heard from a maker about a problem with the tail and found that I made a modeling mistake (actually several). I made a few mantas with the updated design but should have checked the STL before uploading.**********I made the original manta with many makes and good reviews.  I thought I would take it to the next level so it can be displayed in 3D.I made mine at 50% scale.  I think this may be best to not go much larger as the manta becomes more like a flexi.Operation:This is how it comes off the printer (flat)      Bend it upward away from the bed until it is standing straight (straight up is how it should always be used otherwise it will tip over).           You can rotate the top forward 90 degrees or backward.         Then you can twist the top either direction about 90 degrees.               Since it looks pretty cool to make a bi-color manta (by swapping out colors in the middle of the print).  I would suggest printing the manta with the insert at the same time.         By doing so, you don't use the bicolor if displaying it on its bottom side.  You add it to use with the top side.Enjoy!
