Mini Crocodile is here!
I know some of you less familiar with my minis will ask "isn't this just your classic crocodile scaled down?" Heck NO! If you tried to print the regular crocodile small, the links would be teenie weenie, and super fragile. This one has beefed up hinges and is adorable.
I made 4 versions:
- Standard
- Keyring
- Captured Magnet (Recommended)
- Non-c...
For those familiar with FULV Models, this is a really exciting new design just out today. His creations are beautiful architectural projects that include lights and movement. He provides Step-by-step instructions in PDF and Animated Online Guides :)
For this release, he is showcasing the Bonus Gnome Witch which is included for all members and can be found in the post linked below. <...
Hi Folks!
This month's Bonus wraps up the remaining two skeleton keychains! I added the the fishy too. *** Download in the link below and NOT attached to post
I did alot of test printing to feel out the sizes. For these The 100% provided is best as a bag hanger (and similar in size to the previous dino keychain releases), but I recommend 80% for a keychain.

Ok, I couldn't help myself... I really wanted to Turbo my Tortoise 😊.
This model has several fun features that make it great for customizing. The head pops-on and swivels for extra character :) The body, shell, and spoiler snap together, and the optional flames push in with a fairly snug fit.
I designed it this way so you can print all the parts in different colors. I pers...

Wow, this character was quite the challenge...in a good way 😉 My maker space is littered with beaver body parts after changing directions twice before landing on this happy-go-lucky Chap.
The little arms and head are pop-on which allows for various poses :) And I while I have never seen beavers in the wild stand on each other's heads, we had a ton of fun stacking them high.

Thank you all for your messages, requests and feedback to help start the year off on positive note :)
For this month's bonus, I added the starfish to the Tattooed collection. This character is one of my earlier models that has the funniest personality. It's super flexi, print-in-place, and offers a few hilarious poses. I hope it makes you smile too!
Happy Printing -...
HOW-TO video #2 shows how to stain and paint to highlight the Dinosaur Stand.
- Craft/Model paint and detail brushes, used with a wet palette work perfectly for these.
- I also typically use gel stain as it sets in darker, but typical oil based spreads quicker.
- I always set with a clear polyurethane spray. Matte is my preference for the skeleton dinos, but other variations lik...
The process isn't pretty hahaha... but with the right tools and a little time, the Flexi Factory Skeleton Dinos look amazing!
I have had so many requests to do a tutorial :) Since I am diligently working on more Flexis, my very kind and talented wife has put together a couple short videos and supply list for those that asked.
Many of the supplies can be found at local hardware a...
Hi everyone!
I am very excited about adding to the Skeleton Dino collection with the Fully Print-in-Place Ankylosaurus. The skeleton dinos continue to be my most requested designs... which is great, because they are so fun to create. Especially this one, with the spiky texture and super flexi tail and body.
My son discovered the hilarious handstand feature that balances perfec...

Everyone ready to test out those new machines... er "gifts" you may have received (or bought for yourself hahaha)?
There have been a ton of messages asking for a mini Flexi Frog. Some of you may ask, " Why not just print the regular frog small? " You can, but it would be incredibly fragile. This one is made to be mini, with beefed-up joints. Since it had to be redesigned anyway, I used th...

It's Fri-YAY everyone!!!
It has been so fun working through the art, styling and developing the personality of this little character. The big floppy ears, looped tail, and oversized hands and feet really make it such a joy to play with. I hope you all delight in "monkeying" around with this model ... and discovering lots of fun ways to pose and hang it, hahaha. And this character also ST...

1) More stable! He is now less likely to fall over while posing him. (I decided to make this change as I was trying to pose him for photos, and he kept falling over😄) He will still fall if you spin his head all the way around...so don't do that, haha.
2) Slightly improved printability. A handful of patrons had some issues with failures while printing the neck....

My wife has been begging me to make a Nutcracker for the past couple years, but I had to work on some fun new mechanisms for this one, to really make it special. I wanted to keep it Flexible, and also give it the ability to stand and make his arms posable. The way this prints, it gives the model a 360 look, but without the use of supports, like ALL of my designs.
The Nutcracke...
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!
My Flexi Skeleton Shark has been a popular print for many of you! It can get quite fragile the smaller you go, so I felt like a beefier version is necessary for successful prints.
This Bonus includes a keychain and non-keychain Mini Skeleton Shark with stronger/thicker joints, bones and fins. This model looks great in gradien...
