Flexi Lobster

Flexi Lobster – STL File for 3D Printing

The Flexi Lobster STL is a multi-jointed articulated print-in-place creature that flexes straight off the build plate. The segmented body, tail, and claws offer smooth movement, making it a fun fidget toy, collectible display model, or desk accessory.

The design requires no assembly and prints as a single-piece model, making it an ideal project for beginners and experienced makers alike. Works great on FDM printers using PLA or PLA+, and can be produced in resin at miniature scales for sharper detail.
