This articulated serpent is a print‑in‑place flexi model that coils, twists, and poses smoothly straight off the build plate with no assembly and no supports required. Segment geometry and tolerances are tuned for reliable FDM printing, aligning with CGTrader listing guidance to emphasize use cases, specs, and print settings for buyer success. Recommended settings: 0.2 mm layer height with a 0.4 mm nozzle, 2–3 perimeters, 10–15% infill, and slow outer walls for crisp scales; PLA is ideal for rigidity, while PETG adds toughness for kid‑safe fidgeting. For maximum adhesion on many small islands, use a brim or light “connector tabs” between segments as shared by experienced articulated‑model makers, then trim after printing. Print length fits a 220×220 mm bed when coiled; scale uniformly for desktop fidgets or larger display pieces. Optional finishing includes metallic dry‑brushing on the scales and dot accents on the head for a striking, creature‑prop look. Package includes a single ready‑to‑print STL plus a flat coiled plate layout for fast batching. License permits personal use and small‑batch sales of physical prints; redistribution or resale of the digital files is prohibited, consistent with marketplace norms for articulated toys.
