These flexible little snails are almost as fun to hold in your hand as their real-life counterparts. Print them and you too can experience the joy of handling snails as often as you want!

Update! - I've fixed the baby snail so the segments shouldn't detach so easily. 7/4/23

I designed a version with cutouts for 4mm magnets, so you can stick them on any metal surface your snail would like to climb.

There's also a baby snail that's about half the size but twice as adorable!

Make use of your filament collections to print the body and shell in different colors and materials!

The Normal size snails print in around an hour and a half while the baby snails only take 40 minutes! You can enjoy your own little snail family in no time.

I printed these in Polymaker Wood PLA on my Neptune 3.

If you enjoy this model, check out my new flexi salamander!

This contest isn't just about crafting a model that's fun to play with - we're also seeking designs that are relatively quick to print. After all, there's nothing quite like the thrill of watching your creations come to life!
