Flexi Labrador, Articulated Desk Fidget

Meet the Flexi Labrador, a long, waggly, big nosed pup that prints fully assembled in one go. The segmented body bends and wiggles in your hand, so it works just as well perched on a desk as it does being fiddled with during a long phone call. There's no glue, no clips and no fiddly post processing, you just pop it off the plate and it's ready to go. If you love Labradors, or you know someone who does, this one lands well.

Two profiles are included. The AMS version prints the black nose and the eyes in place with colour changes, so no painting or stickers needed. The single colour version keeps things simple if you're running one spool, and it still looks great in a warm cream or golden filament. Print a couple at different scales for a little Lab family, or try it in a bold colour for a version that doesn't take itself too seriously. Beginners, this is a nice one to cut your teeth on, it's forgiving and there's nothing to assemble.

Filament Colour & Material

PLA is ideal here, it's easy to print and holds the segment detail nicely. Cream, sand or a warm golden yellow gives you a classic Labrador look, with black for the nose and eyes on the AMS version. Chocolate brown or black works beautifully too if you want a different Lab.
