About this model

Support free design competition Product design The Scissor Snake Support-free Product Design The "Scissor Snake" is a fun 3D printed toy. It is easy to print without support; the "Scissor Snake" comes off the build plate assembled and ready to use. Its motion is incredibly smooth, resulting in a very precise, fast, durable and fun remote grabber. The design uses an exclusive, support-less crossover bearing, engineered for this project. The engineered cross-over bearing further enhance strength and lifting ability by interlocking with the frame when fully extended under load, causing the frame to become rigid, thereby reducing stress on the bearing pivots. This results in a strong and durable toy cable of lifting many times its own weight. Kid tested. Guaranteed to provide many hours of fun…
