Articulated Snake (Print-in-Place)

This snake was created with JointLab and comes out of the printer ready to use, with movement between the parts and no assembly required. The articulations are generated automatically, allowing flexibility and proper function right after printing.

A simple example of how to create articulated models in Blender quickly.

JointLab is a Blender addon made for people who want to create, even without knowing how to use Blender.

It automates what is usually difficult: you can create articulations, generate connectors, make keychains from images, and paint models in a simple and fast way, all in a direct workflow.

It also solves a common problem today: AI-generated models that come out ugly, broken, or not printable. With JointLab, you can turn these models into functional, usable pieces without needing advanced modeling skills.

In the end, it turns Blender into a rapid prototyping tool — where you can take any model and quickly turn it into something usable without complications.

The next step is to bring this to life with the help of the community. The idea is to launch a crowdfunding campaign on MakerWorld, gathering support from makers and creators to accelerate development and take JointLab even further.
