Exclusive: Flexi Factory Mini Skeleton Crocodile with Keychain and Magnet Versions!
🕑 Added 2025-03-05 22:54:47 +0000 UTCMini Crocodile is here!
I know some of you less familiar with my minis will ask "isn't this just your classic crocodile scaled down?" Heck NO! If you tried to print the regular crocodile small, the links would be teenie weenie, and super fragile. This one has beefed up hinges and is adorable.
I made 4 versions:
- Standard
- Keyring
- Captured Magnet (Recommended)
- Non-captured Magnet
For the Captured magnets use
6x2 magnets at 100% scale
5x2 magnets at 85% scale.
For those of you that have never tried captured magnets, I made a quick tutorial.
(The tutorial is for Bambu Slicer, but should translate to other slicers.)

Print tips and Info:
STL and 3MF files are included. * If you use the 3mf file, please remember that it is a painted project file for your convenience. You must check your material/printer/settings to make sure it works correctly for your printing project.
I print with, 15% infill/gyroid, .12 or .16 layer height for quality.
As usual, make sure you have good adhesion, especially for the mini versions. A glue stick works or I have switched to using on all my machines... a BIQU Cryopgrip Frostbite adhesion plate.
I successfully test printed between 70% and 200% for this design. They were built to be small with beefy joints and ribs.
Gradient PLA works well with this model: I have a comprehensive list of Filament I use here: Amazon List
85% can use a 5x2 magnet and 100% uses a 6x2 magnet. Both are here: https://amzn.to/3D5DT88

Where can I find the rings for Mini Skeleton Crocodile
Dan
I will have the code up tomorrow morning. The first is a switchover day for membership so there are never any file releases on the 1st.

is this available again today?
Dan
I'm sorry for any confusion. This is an exclusive for members. It was included for March patrons and then vaults for 3 months. They will be $3.99 for new members in July of 2025.

I can't find this download anywhere. Looked in Downloads and bonus. Can't seem to locate it.

Just printed mini alligators at 100% but I printed one at 75%, 65% and 50% and even the 50% is perfect. All joints work and feel pretty strong. .4 nozzle Bambu A1

Where can I find the file?

I put all the versions of the croc in the 3mf file. Just open the project file and you will see each of them there, delete the ones you don't need and keep the ones you want:-)

Dan, now that I have a Bambu Labs printer, I wanted my first print to be this adorable croc. I do not see a painted captured magnet version. Am I missing it somewhere?
Daniel Lightbown
you can just re size the smaller ones

Is the full-size crocodile still available? I just joined!
