Bonus: Flexi Factory Skeleton Dinosaur Plaques

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

This month's bonus is a special request from several members, and I excited to start this collection with a fun a way to display these two Dino characters.

T-Rex has an opening mouth like the original model, and I have added a pop-in ball socket
on the plaque, with holes in the back for easy wall mounting. I made these as big as my plate allows and they are now proudly hanging in my maker space :) These scale down easily for fri...

Flexi Factory Samurai Early Release!!!

Anyone else not sleep for the past two weeks?!?  Worth it :)

This character has been high on my list of must-do's for about a year. I had fun figuring out how to model the rope detail and scoured through thousands of amazing historical armor and recreations. The knights accessory pack in the bonus post fit perfectly, and I was surprised to find out that many of the weapons Samurai and Knights used are very similar. But I also added a katana for this release.

Bonus: Flexi Factory Dapper Skeleton

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to do a fancy version of my very first Flexi EVER!!! 

This character is print-in-place like the original version but I made it shorter and repositioned the arms so you can print lots of little skelies on one plate :) Plus I added the top hat, bowtie and spats.

I had some fun playing around with layer color changes on the print above and added a little paint to the bow...

Sneak Peek

It's definitely not done yet. If you look closely you will notice there is no back half of it's body. 😁

It's a crazy complicated model so it's taking a little extra time, but I promise I will have it to you next week.🤞

And yes, the mouth opens and the wings are posable.

I hope you like it so far.

Thanks,
-Dan

Flexi Factory Piggy Bank BONUS

Hi there!

This little bank should round out the piggy options that have often been requested the last few months. 

As you can see from the second picture, I created a little screw plug on the bottom so you don't have to break it to get your stash. Just make sure you don't screw it on tight, it can get stuck.

Two versions: One with and one without the $ on the top :)

Printing tips vary for this particular model:

Flexi Factory Alien Spinner BONUS... aka "Bob"

Hi Folks!

Bob the Alien comes with a very interesting story that I haven't really talked about until now.

Several years ago, after I moved to Texas, I started a YouTube channel for toddlers. At the time I had a toddler of my own, and I noticed there weren't a ton of videos geared to that very narrow age group.

I named it Bouncing Baby TV.  And I put my heart and soul into it. I also got some help from my kids and wife as voice talents.

At first it had a slow start...

Hand painted Dragonfly

I wanted to share this special print with everyone. My wife has outdone herself again!

This is the xl file with the glue on tail at 180%. The little guy in red is 80%...so you can see the difference in scale.

I printed this in Amolen Metal Silk Rainbow: https://a.co/d/bb1zKo2 which seems to work great for the Antiqued, kinda Steampunk look.

There has also been alot of inquiries as to how she paints them ...

Flexi Factory Skeleton T-Rex

It's FriYAY!!!

I loved making this model. So much fun detailing all the bones and extras. It is mostly print-in-place due to the opening mouth... but no glue or supports needed, ever.

I Included a bone to hold in the mouth as well as a display stand. One very cool feature is that the head tilts back and locks into the first neck joint to make it look like it's roaring (might take a little practice at first) 😉

Printing tips:
- Tested 160% down to 50%. Don't forget t...

Bambu Lab Flexi Factory Panda Sneak Peek

Hi folks,

After releasing my hanging Sloth about a year and a half ago, I've gotten numerous requests for a hanging Panda.
However, as I was getting ready to work on it, I found that 2 other designers had copied my sloths joints and created Pandas...ugh.

I'm not naïve, I know that whenever I create a new mechanic, it will be stolen. But this caused me to put the panda idea aside for a while.

Fast forward to an exciting e-mail Last month, Bambu Lab reached out and aske...
