Cute Flexi Squid – Print-in-Place Articulated Toy

Meet the Cute Flexi Squid — a playful print-in-place sea creature with flexible, individually articulated tentacles!

Its expressive eyes and wiggly movement give every squid its own personality. Print it in bright colors, experiment with different eye styles, and create your own colorful squid squad.

Perfect as a desk companion, fidget toy, gift, ocean-themed decoration, or simply a fun articulated print.

Features:

- Print-in-place articulated design - Flexible segmented tentacles - No supports required - No brim required - No assembly required for the main body - Customizable eye inserts - Great for single-color and multicolor printing - Carefully designed in CAD and Zbrush — not an AI-generated mesh After printing, gently loosen each joint one by one before fully moving the tentacles. Do not force the joints immediately.

If you print one, please share a photo of your squid squad! I would love to see your color combinations.

Eye installation: Insert the printed eye pieces into the sockets after printing. If the fit is loose, secure them with a small drop of glue.
