Flexi Bird

A 3D-printed "flexi bird" is an articulated toy or decorative model that is created using a 3D printer, typically as a single, print-in-place piece with no assembly required. The design incorporates numerous joints, allowing the model—such as a phoenix or hummingbird—to have a high degree of flexibility and movement in its wings, tail, and body, making it an interactive fidget toy or unique desk accessory. These models are commonly printed with standard materials like PLA filament or with a more flexible polymer called Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) to enhance their range of motion, providing a fun, tactile experience for nature lovers or 3D printing enthusiasts. The digital design files (STL or 3MF) are widely available online for personal use, allowing individuals with a properly calibrated 3D printer to create their own customizable, flexible avian models at home.
