Flexi Liopleurodon (Print-in-place)

[Update]

 ---2025/10/25--- 

・Changed the support for the head model to brim type.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is Flexi Liopleurodon. The body, which is made in reference to spherical joints, has a very wide range of motion and is flexible enough to draw a semicircle with the body. There are two models to choose from: one with a mouth that opens and closes, and one without a mouth that opens and closes. The open/close model can be assembled simply by inserting the head part into the body. The non-opening type is completed simply by 3D printing. (Print in Place) 

Print in Place with no supports. Please let us know which type you like better in the comments below!! Also, I would be very happy if you could share photos of your 3D printed products.

Assembly

The model is completed by simply 3D printing two bodies and attaching them together. For the type with open/close mouth, apply adhesive to the head parts and insert them into the body from the front to assemble. Please refer to GIF when assembling the 3d printed.
