Flexi Ant

Flexi Ant – STL File for 3D Printing

The Flexi Ant STL is an articulated print-in-place creature designed to move naturally straight off the build plate. Its segmented body and joints provide satisfying motion, making it ideal as a fidget toy, desk accessory, display model, or fun collectible print.

This model requires no assembly and prints as a single piece. Simply slice, print, and flex. Designed for easy printing on FDM printers using standard PLA or PLA+, and compatible with resin at smaller scales for highly detailed miniature versions.
