Arti Crab Flexi Print-in-Place

Arti Crab Flexi Print-in-Place 3D Model – STL File for 3D Printing

The Arti Crab STL is a fully print-in-place articulated crab model designed for smooth movement straight off the printer. This flexi model features integrated joints and articulated legs, allowing the crab to bend, move, and flex without any assembly or additional parts.

The design is optimized for support-free printing, making it easy to print on most consumer FDM 3D printers. Once printed, the joints can be gently flexed to release movement, resulting in a playful and durable flexi toy, desk companion, fidget model, or decorative animal print.

This model is provided as a print-ready STL file, compatible with all major slicing software and ideal for both beginners and experienced makers.
