I'm very excited to share my articulated Rattlesnake. This viper snake features an Opening Mouth and a working Rattle with print-in-place beads! The base length is 25 inches, BUT that's just the starting point! With the snap-fit body joint system and the additional Body Extension Links, you can make the snake as long as you want! Each Extend Link adds another inch to the total length. Try different colors to add a striped effect. See and Hear the rattlesnake in action here: https://www.tiktok.com/@matmire_makes/video/7182736556611046702 Updated... Multicolor 3mf file now included for eye, mouth, and rattle coloring. This model is Pre-Supported (no added supports required). Here is a quick video showing how to remove the Pre-Support, snap-fit the head, and assemble the body. https://youtu.be/5F43Vr5wi4A Please, share photos of your makes! I would love to see them!

Resin print at your own risk. Includes 10 files: *Recommended (files prefixed with "A_"): -Body (Front and Rear): Print-In-Place. Snap-Fit BodyFront to BodyRear -Head Top: Snap-Fit to Head Bottom. Pre-Supported! -Head Bottom: Snap-Fit to the BodyFront. Pre-Supported! -Rattle: Separate so it can be printed in a different color. Snap-Fit to Body Rear. If the rattle beads do not print free from the surrounding material, you can use a pointed object, like a pen, to push them into the rattle. Print-in-place. *Optional: -Body Extend Link: Print-in-place. Add in-between Body Front and Rear. *Extras: -Body Aligned (Front and Rear) : Body links are all in a straight line. Gives more options for people with belt or large build volume printers. -Body Rear wRattle & Body Rear wRattle Aligned: Rattle is pre-attached to the body, if you aren't interested in printing it separately. -3MF: includes multicolor 3MF file (compatible with both PrusaSlicer and Bambu Studio) Though on single extruder printers, I recommend printing the rattle separately too speed up the print time and reduce filament waste. 10% Infill. 3 Walls. *if you find the Rattle beads are partially fused to the bottom does to elephant's foot artifacts, try pushing them in with a pointed object like a pen. This model has been successfully printed down to 70%. Below that the joint function may start to become compromised. YMMV Attention: Not suitable for unsupervised play by small children or pets, as small parts can pose a choking hazard if broken off due to rough play. Not recommended for children under 3.
