#HALLOWEENXCULTS

Emerging from the crypts and cursed castles, the Bony Basilisk is here to bewitch and bedazzle just in time for the spooky season! With its detailed skeletal structure, this bony behemoth is prepared to perch on your shelf as the haunting highlight of your Halloween assembly or stand sentinel, casting a bone-chilling shadow for your guests. This ancient creature refuses to let the ghosts, ghouls, and dragons have all the fall-time fun on their own.

This articulated fidget toy integrates the Mimetics 3D "Snap-Flex" joint. This allows the Bony Basilisk to both move smoothly, mimicking the fluid motion of living creatures, AND stabilize in a firm pose, providing a premium fidgeting experience. Each SNAP will resonate as a symphony of satisfaction to your ears, confirming your masterful manipulations.

This Bony Basilisk is the third creation in a series of Snap-Flex models by Mimetics 3D, and it's available for free for a limited time.

Tolerance:
To accommodate different printer settings and filaments, I’m uploading 3 different tolerance levels for the Bone Snake to ensure that you get the best fitting, most satisfying “SNAP” with each of your prints.

This is the Medium tolerance model. For the other tolerances, please check out the other versions of the model below:

No Supports, Print-In-Place at 100% scale. Going any smaller may disable the Snap-Flex joint.

These tolerances are TIGHT and you'll likely have to snap each segment a few times before it's loose enough to snap/unsnap easily. I recommend you use regular PLA or PLA+. ABS might be even better, but I haven't tried it yet.

Silk PLA is a bit softer and may not click as nicely. I'd also be more concerned about silk PLA holding up to the wear and tear.
If you print this in resin, please let me know how it turns out. I imagine you would need a more flexible/less stiff resin for it to work appropriately.
