Meet the Flexi Crystal Axolotl — a stylized fantasy articulated axolotl with crystal-inspired body segments and a flexible tail.

This is a decorative, toy-style model, designed for fun and satisfying motion rather than realism.

Important: This model was developed and tested on Bambu Lab printers.
If you are using another printer or slicer, please make sure your machine is calibrated and settings are tuned correctly.
I can’t guarantee identical results on every third-party setup.
Please rate the model based on the design itself, not issues caused by printer calibration, slicer settings, or hardware limitations.

✨ Key Features

• Fully articulated (print-in-place)
• No supports required
• Prints in ~2 hours
• Can be printed in single or multi-color (AMS optional)
• Smooth, solid geometry optimized for reliable printing
• Great as a desk toy, gift, or collectible

Perfect for axolotl lovers, kids, and fans of fantasy-style flexi prints.

👀 Inserted Eyes Versions (No AMS Friendly)

This model includes optional versions with separately printed inserted eyes, ideal for users without AMS or anyone who wants cleaner eye details.

• Eyes are printed on a separate plate and inserted after printing
• No color waste, no AMS required
• Clean eye sockets — no surface bump
• Supports both printed eyes and glass eyes

Available variants:

• Single Color | Inserted Eyes (printed separately) | No AMS
• Middle Size (140 mm) | Inserted Eyes | No AMS

• XXL version — compatible with common 6 mm glass eyes (e.g. AliExpress)
  I’ve added eye sockets designed for 10 mm glass eyes (AliExpress standard).
  Please note that 10 mm glass eyes are supported in the XXL version.
  The standart version is intended for printed insert eyes or smaller glass eyes (e.g. 6 mm).

🔧 Optional Magnet & Keychain Versions

• Keychain / Backpack version with an integrated hole for attaching a keyring or clip

You can choose between:

• Standard version (no magnet, no hole)

The eyes are designed as a tight press-fit, so no glue is required 🙂

To install them, gently press them in using the handle of a tool (for example, a support removal tool) — this gives better control and prevents damage.

If needed, you can slightly warm the part in your hands or scale the model up by 1–2% for easier insertion.

The fit is intentionally tight to ensure the eyes stay in place without glue.
