Biting bat

May 4, 2023
Description
Articulated flying fox, biting and with articulated wings.
The largest bat in the world and one of the most beautiful. In their habitat they eat fruit but these bite anything that comes near.
The body and wings are one piece with no mounts of any kind, print in place. The wings when you open them for the first time you have to be careful and do it shelf by shelf gently because they have a certain path and if you force them the little stops jump, before opening them see the video in the folder.
3 pieces, plus the eyes.
Very easy to print!!!
Use PLA. The bite varies according to the filament, the stiffer the material, the harder it bites but it breaks before, the idea is to find the balance to get the most out of the figure. Using quality PLA the results are amazing.
Print at 100% scale so that the mechanisms print correctly. Designed to be easy to print and durable.
Before joining the parts together, it is necessary to check that the mechanisms work correctly.
Include a version of a print-in-place part.
Easier assembly, the eyes act as a joint, you have to use a little glue.
Glass eyes are optional and you would need them 12mm in diameter.
BEWARE! With some strands it hurts your finger.
I would really like to see your impressions!!!!
