Attention "Wigglitz" fans: An application called "Cute Flexi Maker" is currently being previewed on Bambu Lab's MakerWorld platform, promising a one-click solution for the next wave of 3D printed collectible craze.

This crowdfunding project, created by design firm Valeria Momo & Mattia, aims to enable makers of all skill levels to easily create customized 3D printed articulated pets. Users need no CAD or sculpting skills whatsoever—through an intuitive web-based application interface, they can build adorable flexible pet models and personalize them with text. Once completed, files can be exported directly as 3MF files optimized for multi-color printing, perfectly compatible with Bambu Studio (AMS ready), and requiring no supports.

Small 3D printed flexible animal collectibles are becoming the next big trend. U.S.-based ZB Designs has sold millions of Wigglitz toys nationwide through retailers like Target and Amazon; imitator brands have even emerged in India. Cute Flexi Maker is precisely targeting this market gap.

The project receives funding support through MakerWorld's crowdfunding platform—a mechanism Bambu Lab launched last August that allows community users to help creators realize their ideas through financial pledges. It's worth noting that, similar to Kickstarter, this support constitutes funding for a creator's effort to bring a new idea to life rather than purchasing a finished product; if the project ultimately fails to deliver, there are no refunds.

Cute Flexi Maker has already reached its funding goal and attracted over 1,500 followers. The development team indicates they will expand functionality in the future, adding new animals and accessories, advanced personalization options, and potentially offering sales licenses for custom prints.

An official release date has not yet been announced, but preview information suggests it will launch soon. Following the project on the MakerWorld page is currently the best way to stay updated.
