Mango Gloop Cute Slug Monster, Articulated Flexi

Mango Gloop is a happy slug monster with five googly eyes, a leafy crest and a wiggly 11-joint fur tail.

CUTE, FAST AND FLEXI

• Print-in-place fluffy tail with 11 joints that bends in every direction, no assembly, no glue

• 1 plate, fits the Bambu Lab A1 mini bed

• Print time 1 h 12 min on the A1 mini (0.20 mm Standard, PLA)

• Great as a fidget toy, desk buddy, kawaii shelf decor or a small gift for kids and collectors

PRINT NOTES

• Size: 43.7 x 123.1 x 43.8 mm, scalable in the slicer

• Filament: 15.88 g PLA. The 3mf is single color; paint it, or add colors in the slicer

• Supports: tree (auto) is on in the profile, used only under a few overhanging details of the body; the tail needs none, keep supports off inside the joints

• Print on a clean plate and let the first layers stick well; the tail is made of small pieces and each one must stay in place

ABOUT THIS MODEL

Body: designed with AI assistance (Tripo AI) and prepared for printing by me (repaired, scaled, flattened base, sliced).

Tail: my own 11-joint flexi fur tail. Its joint mechanism is adapted from the public domain 'Cute Lizard' by Amanda Roos (https://makerworld.com/en/models/2113956-cute-lizard-free-to-sell-no-ams); the fur skin was made with Tripo AI.

The pictures are concept renders of the intended colors (orange body, lime crest and slime base) and show the first version of the figure with a plainer tail. That first version was test-printed; this updated 11-joint fur-tail version is sliced and checked in software but has not been printed yet.
