It's a almost done. My daughter demanded an improvement on the back plates so I guess I'll have to redesign them from scratch. I'll publish it when the original Günther has 15.000 downloads.

The second prototype of Günthers body mod came out perfect! I guess it's ready to publish soon. I'll add it to the free version when Günther hits 15000 downloads, so please share!

As some of you may know Günther was my first take on a Flexi Dinosaur when I wanted to print a flexi Stegosaurus for my sons birthday over 2 years ago and I only found substandard models. I never would have thought there would be such a demand for good FlexiDinos. When I published Theobald the Triceratops some months later I saw this might be a thing and I kept designing new models since then.

But as it is with first tries, I became much better at designing FlexiDinos over the last 2 years and Günther never really fitted the rest as even Theobald had a body and the original Günther is flat. So I spent yesterday and today with a redesign (I've become quite quick which surprises me a little).

Last but not least I've got gifted 2 spools of filament by @LunaYe_1367973 from Chitusystems which print amazing and are incomparably cheap. If you want to help me make a few bucks you can order via https://bit.ly/42gWrwe and try it out yourself. The prototype you can see on the photos is printed from it and even the ridiculous overhang on its right forefoot is okay.

It seems like Günther gained some weight over the holidays.

Recycle your tree supports!

Thanks to @LunaYe_1367973 from Chitu Systems for sending me 2 spools of Jamg He PLA+ filament. I have now made some test prints with it and I am thrilled.

I thought long and hard about whether I should go ahead and advertise and if I could have found even the slightest reason not to, I would have left it alone. But this convinces me across the board. I simply printed it with the standard PLA settings and I have rarely had such beautiful overhangs and such an even surface. And the price is unbeatable. So if you want to try something new and help me out a bit, why not try this affiliate link?

I've just uploaded the files for the Parasaurolophus Filip with a whistle in its head. It's really shrill and annoying. You've been warned.

I just picked up the first working prototype of the whistle designed to drive us all crazy over the holidays. I'll make a separate model of it to print for the people you don't like as much and think they deserve some more noise in their life. I'll update asap. See it in action here: https://youtube.com/shorts/uHC4AzE91GY?feature=share

And don't forget: the first Club Member to comment a name under the post I make at 15:00 today will have their suggestion chosen.

A Parasaurolophus FlexiDino has just joined the herd.
If you want to name it, make sure you are a club member by Thursday 19th December, 15:00 CET, as I will be posting here at that time and the first name posted will be the one. Good luck to all of you!

Now with leg joints. Should I implement some joints in the forelegs too? I don't know if they will work as smooth as they're not parallel to the print bed. So what do you say? I may continue working on it tonight so this vote will only go on for some hours.

I've got the leg joints done!

If you happen to be in Vienna tomorrow evening, drop by at Van der Nüll Gasse 20, were having a housewarming party there and I guess it's gonna become awesome! Shamona! I'd love to meet some of you guys in person. I've plugged in my C64 and who makes the fastest fire in stone age ughlympics wins a bed sized Ankylosaurus.

The Parasaurolophus is a really joy to work on and basically finishing itself. It's not done yet, but already quite okay. I guess you want to fire up your printers to print giveaways for holiday season. Should I publish it even if it's not ready yet? It will be a Club Member exclusive so the poll is also. You've got 24 hours.

Greetings from Vienna

50 CLUB MEMBERS, BABY!

Holy crap! That's awesome! I never thought I'd be able to write a sentence like that. I absolutely love you guys!

Being the master of mispreparation, I have nothing to celebrate except these shitty pictures of the shitty print I made yesterday of the not-so-shitty Parasaurolophus, which is turning out to be quite good, I think.

<3 you!

Hello Dinophiles!

I just updated a lot of stuff I wanted to do for a while now on my printables profile.

No new models yet, but I included Tessas siblings Bosco, Crazy Dave and Scarlett in the DeLuxe paid version. If you purchased it for 5$ you should be able to download them now too. If there's any trouble write me a message and I'll send them to you.

The second thing I finally managed to do is putting Ginko back behind the bars where it belongs. This means it's a paid model again and the free version won't have jaw and leg hinges any more. I'll have that updated as soon as I manage to print it and have a good photo.

On the third hand there is a new free Model of the Month. For December it's Klaws, the Perodactyl-Santa hybrid out of the Gene labs. I hope this time I'll manage switching it out in time. Let's see how this turns out. And make sure to check back next month to see what it is this time!

You can wrap your greedy little christmas arms around it here: https://www.printables.com/model/1095759-flexidinos-model-of-the-month

Happy printing and a wonderful Advent season!
