Tentacles - The slimiest of Greek gods

thingiverse

This octopus tentacle features jointed laser-cut parts made of 3mm acrylic. The plastic green tentacle is not included, but the tentacles can move up and down. Aglets are provided to convert it into a motorized movement if desired. Future improvements may include universal movement and better holding clips for hinge retainer pieces. Print two of each long part for every side and assemble starting with the largest pieces, attaching them using ball-and-socket joints. Add more parts or shorten legs to increase bend, and holes are available for motor control with a string or bowden cable.
