Swivel Seal Fidget

A cute seal with a swiveling ball joint head.

Customization

Head

Default
Hat - Works with hats designed for the Snowman Fidget or Posable Penguin.

Printing

Set seam position to random or place it around the back of the seal’s head.
Add a very slight fuzzy skin to the head and body to add friction to the ball joint.
To limit stare stepping at the top of the snowman head, use variable layer height or hide the a concentric top layer infill pattern.
Add a brim when printing the eyes.

Assembly

Glue eyes into the head.
Hook a scrap of TPU (or similar flexible string) around the hook at the base of the head - use pliers if needed to pull the TPU through.
Thread both ends of the TPU through the body and out through the bottom.
Pull the TPU tight.
Tie the TPU to keep it under tension.
Trim the loose ends of the TPU.
