January 2025: Gregor the flexi Ankylosaurus print in place articulated dinosaur

Strike and Maim!

(See here for instructions on printing and finishing)

An all time favorite for everyone who thinks Triceratops is mainstream: The good old Ankylosaurus. Where its thagomizer reaches, nothing remains. Designed for battle, but also practical for major renovation work, the Ankylosaurus is a welcome guest at any demolition party.

Just some quick design notes, you can see the whole design process here if you want to dive down the rabbit hole. Since this is a very wide dinosaur, this model had to be designed without the usual approach of it lying on its side. So I had to come up with a way to print it on its back and still have a curved shell on top. It took me about three weeks to come up with the first two joints, and I didn't know if they would work, so you can imagine how happy I was when they finally did. 

This model is a show piece. So if you want to impress your 3D printing friends, just show them the back of this model and tell them you sawed your print bed into 3 pieces to get this result or something :D

December 2024: Klaws the flexi Santa-Pterodactyl print in place articulated dinosaur

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Klaws! Half beard half pterodactyl it brings the presents and eats them.

Fresh from the gene lab, I fused Santa's DNA with some pterodactyl juice from an old coprolite, and poof - here he is. Meet Klaws, part prehistoric chicken, part old guy who ate too much of it and still somehow manages to fit down the chimney.

You may have noticed that this is a variation on Bertha the Pterodactyl, but it's for club members only, so if you can download it, please do: Thanks a lot!

I didn't even forget to put a hole in her pom-pom, so you can hang her in your Christmas tree this year. Hooray for that! And Merry Christmas to you all!

I can't stress this enough, so I'm going to write it down here: FlexiDinos are in no way suitable for small children. Parts can break off and leave sharp edges, so make sure your children are old enough to know what they're doing before letting them play with FlexiDinos!
