02 — Articulated Lizard

Apply a little glue to the build plate to improve adhesion. The legs have small contact areas, so weak adhesion in parts of the plate can increase the risk of movement and misalignment during printing.

03 — Fidget Lizard

If you cannot keep a real lizard, adopt a 3D printed one to play with instead.

This cute little creature can wrap its tiny arms and legs around your finger, making it easy to pick up and enjoy. Give its little head a gentle stroke for a soothing moment.

Keep it in your hand for a relaxing fidget break. When you are done, let it rest quietly on its branch until the next play session.

With no feeding or care required, it doubles as a pocket-sized companion and a cheerful desktop ornament.
