Hi everyone!

I’m pretty excited about this new toy I came up with. A wood snake, with a wood ball joint for articulation. I walk through the process of making it. Inspiration was the 3d-printed little animals with print-in-place joints. All cut out on my Avid CNC; designed in fusion 360. I made 7 of them for my kid’s birthday party as gifts for the attendees.
