Articulated Arbok Toy

This model has only been tested on a BambuLab X1C and A1, using PLA. Expect different results if using different machines or materials. If printing on a Textured PEI plate, a brim is strongly recommended on all parts.

I do not recommend using BambuLab PLA Silk on this model, as it was brittle on the smaller links. The single colour was printed using Gratkit duo-tone Silk PLA, and all small links turned out fine.

This articulated Arbok has 36 joints, though at the scale I have provided there is plenty of room for more links, should you want to add them! All body links, except the one closest to the tail-tip, are identical so you can copy/paste them to make the body longer.

The size I have provided is the largest I could make the full-colour version before printing time became too long. Be aware that bleeding can occur if your filament has additional qualities to it (such as sparkle glitter).

Brims and supports are not required on the entire model, but is recommended on the “head” segment, as the part is tall. The only exception is if you use a textured PEI plate, whereby a brim is needed on all segments.

If you want to use other slicing software, please use the Prusa 3mf when importing into your slicer, as the Bambu Studio one does not work outside Bambu Studio.
