About this model

Friendly Articulated Slug without the pointy bits. This makes it nicer as a fidget toy IMO. Short head STL file has a more rounded head section, long head STL maintains shape of the original slug from which this was remixed. Long head is a bit more polished and short head looks like it could use some additional cleaning up when viewed in a modeling/sculpting app, but any imperfections are unnoticeable when printed at 100% scale. PLA+ is recommended, Especially if your plan on mixing and matching parts.
