Please note: updated version with more options here: Scissor Snake Easy Grip Custom
The Scissor Snake Family
WINNER Second Runner-Up Support-free Product Design Christmas 2014
The "Scissor Snake" is a fun 3D printed toy. It is easy to print without support; the "Scissor Snake" comes off the build plate assembled and ready to use. Its motion is incredibly smooth, resulting in a very precise, fast, durable and fun remote grabber.
This design uses an exclusive, support-less crossover bearing, engineered for the project. The cross-over bearing interlocks with the frame when fully extended under load, causing the frame to become rigid, thereby reducing stress on the bearing pivots. This results in a strong and durable toy cable of lifting many times its own weight. Kid tested. Guaranteed to provide many hours of fun for kids of all ages.

(The annoying fused sections in Super, Magnum and Curvy are now FIXED in RevA and CurvyRevB.... many thanks to TLC510 for letting me know about the problem. Please accept my apology for the error.)

Scissor - The Classic scissor snake, easy to print and a good size for kids
Super - Once you have it dialed in, this one can be a lot of fun; it little more challenging to print
Magnum a.k.a. the Trouser Snake - The longest scissor snake in the family
Curvy (Experimental, needs tweaking) - Forms an "S" curve when extended
Corner (Experimental, needs tweaking) - Forms a curve when extended, to snake around a corner
Instructions
Print at 100% scale, using 30% to 50% infill, no support, at 0.2mm layer height. The "Scissor Snake" is designed to print at 100% scale on wide range of 3D printers. However, if the print comes out looser than you'd like, you can reduce the scale by 5 to 10%; this will produce tighter joints. If the print come out too tight, increase the scale by 5 to 10%; this will produce looser joints. Normally this is not necessary. Otherwise, for best results, don't change the scale of the model.

so beautiful
print large and very slow have to break apart slowly too
doesen't work (bad)
i hate you, it is broke and don't work
Beautiful design and engineering it works well and feels strong.
What an amazing design! Worked great with no dramas! THANK YOU!
I love this design, and have printed off a few of the standard scissor snake for my toddler. However the supersnake and magnum both print with the 3 bottom right hinges fused together. It is not an issue with the printer, but the slicing program doesn't see enough clearance and so doesn't print two shells, but joins them together with infill. none of the other hinges have this issue in the slicer(mattercontrol) or the printer
Weird I printed them before a few years ago without problems but I do see the problems you are talking about now. I'm not sure exactly when they got introduced, but my apologies for any inconvenience. I'll see if I can fix the problems right now and post an update. Thanks for the feedback.
The problems are fixed and I reposted the files. Thanks again for the feedback.
Oh cool, you could probably print one big enough to stretch across the street. It is procedurally generated by a script program so I can add stages just by changing a few parameters. I can easily make it any number of stages long. So if we keep it basically the same scale, just starting out bigger and with more stages it should be a no-brainer. How many stages would you like? The full 305mm's worth?
Can we get a version for bigger printers? Something that fits within 305x305mm?
Awesome! Pinshape has so many amazing models, it is a real honor to be included in staff picks. Thank you.
