The Flexi Rex with Butterfly is an interactive 3D-printed model that serves both as a delightful desk ornament and a playful toy. Each segment of the Rex is connected in a way that allows it to bend and twist, mimicking the movement of a real creature. The butterfly, with its detailed wings, can be perched alongside the dinosaur, creating a whimsical display.

Recommended Colors:

• Flexi Rex: Classic colors like deep green or earthy brown will give it a natural dinosaur look. For a more modern twist, neon or pastel colors can make your Flexi Rex pop!
• Butterfly: Bright and contrasting colors like yellow, red, or blue for the wings will complement the dinosaur and enhance the butterfly's visibility.

Printing Tips:

• Material: PLA is recommended for beginners due to its ease of use and low warp. ABS or PETG can be used for a more durable toy.
• Scale: The model can be scaled to fit your printer capacity, but ensure all segments are free to move post-printing.
• Supports: The design is usually optimized to be printed without supports, but check your printer's capabilities first.
• Resolution: A higher resolution can be used for the butterfly to capture the fine details of the wings.

Post-Processing:

• Assembly: No assembly is required for the Rex as it prints in one piece. The butterfly may need to be attached depending on the model.
• Finishing: You can sand the joints if they are too tight. Painting can be done to customize your colors, especially for the butterfly's details.

Enjoy bringing your Flexi Rex and its butterfly friend to life, perfect for both novice and experienced 3D printing enthusiasts looking to add a playful touch to their collection!
