About the design
A green day gecko with big yellow eyes, four splayed legs ending in round yellow toe pads, yellow spots down its back and a curled tail, in six pieces joined by captive joints that print in place. Each joint is a post with a wide foot held under a 45 degree roof in the next piece's collar, with a 0.30 mm gap, so the pieces cannot pull apart, and each swings 30 degrees each way. It prints flat in one go with no supports and no brim, in green with yellow eyes, spots and toe pads and black pupils, each colour a raised layer on the one below.
