Articulated Hermit Crab - no supports

I'm really excited to finally present you the articulated hermit crab!
This cute sea creature likes to hide in its shell.

As requested, I created a design that secures the crab in the shell without it falling out.
For this purpose, 2 folding holders were added to the shell entrance.
Fold it in so that the crab can get into the shell and fold it out so that the crab can no longer get out of the shell.

All parts are printable without support strcutures.
The crab is print in place, just the eyes and the shell where printed separately.
Use glue to fix the eyes.

I also printed this one with just 50% model size and it turned out fine (shell without lock mechanism).

Enjoy
