Tina the Tiny Flexi Starfish

A few people have asked for a smaller version of Susie the Symetrical Flexi Starfish, so here it is!

 

Note there is now a key-ring version of this model, here.

 

Tina is just as flexible as Susie (and Eddie the Eagle Ray, and Timmy and Tall Timmy the flexi Sea Turtles).  I've provided three profiles, one with eyes and a mouth, one without, and one of just the base of the model, which can be used as a quick test to check it's going to print ok.

 

I recommend printing in Bambu Labs PLA Basic.  You can try Silk+, but it tends to have poorer layer adhesion and the models will not be so strong.

 

Print settings are based on the standard 0.2mm layer height, but with reduced speed on the first layer, reduced first layer line width to 0.42mm, and with z-seam placement set to random.  The random z-seam helps avoid issues where some of the little links may end up fused together at one end.

 

Enjoy, and don't forget to check out my other flexi models if you haven't already!
