Flexi Manatee

Flexi Manatee – STL File for 3D Printing

This adorable articulated manatee features a smooth segmented body allowing natural flex and motion once printed. Designed as a desk fidget, collectible animal figure, or ocean-themed toy, the flexi engineering allows the model to wiggle freely without assembly or hardware.
