Your new least favourite pet. 🪱
Tapeworm Flexi is a print-in-place, fully articulated Taenia. It comes off the bed in one piece, already assembled, and slithers in your hand like the real thing (sorry).
Why you'll like printing it
Print-in-place: no assembly, no glue, no supports.
Hidden joints: each pin is captured under a thin bridged roof, so from the top it reads as one continuous segmented ribbon, not a chain of hinges.
Built-in end stops: each joint bends ±16° and then stops, so it curls and wiggles but won't snap.
Anatomically (mostly) correct: a scolex with suckers and a crown of hooks, a thin neck, and short immature segments that grow into long gravid ones with branching uteri. Genital pores alternate sides. Your biology teacher would be proud, or concerned.
Cheap multicolour: the red details are a 0.5 mm flush inlay, so the whole print has just 2 filament swaps (≈0.5 g of red).
Fits most beds: it prints curled into a C, 176 × 188 mm (X1/P1/A1/H2D).
