{"product_id":"slinky-snake","title":"Slinky Snake","description":"\u003cp\u003eI've always wanted to try designing a 3D printed slinky, and what could be slinkier than a snake? It can stretch out to a full meter in length. It prints standing on end, using tree supports that form a cradle for the tail to keep it stable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePost Printing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDO NOT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e just try to yank this apart after printing - the coils are easy to kink. First, remove the tree support base - it should break free pretty easily, but you can use cutters if necessary to help break it away. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, to free up the spring, gently poke a thin blade, like a pocket knife or xacto knife into the gap between the coils and then then work the blade along the entire length of the coil to free it up. I actually used the back side of an xacto knife blade rather than the sharp edge, wiggling it a little as I went to break the coils free. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesign by LoboCNC on MakerWorld (license: BY-SA).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mymadmanlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67368278229296,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/0809\/5280\/files\/0_52594590-b7c3-43b5-af91-87c2695e3d97.png?v=1784030414","url":"https:\/\/mymadmanlab.com\/products\/slinky-snake","provider":"Mymadmanlab.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
