**Grab Toy ++**
==========

Introduction:
----------------------------

Had lots of problems printing the amazing Scissor Snake family (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1902131) with hinges fusing together and some parts snapping. So I tried to design a simpler hinge that could also be printed in place using OpenSCAD, where I could play with different spacings between the moving parts.

Then I did the code for the rest of the toy, learning OpenSCAD along the way. Very cool software!

Tips:
----------------------------

Instead of printing the biggest grabtoy here and be disappointed it fused together, you can first check which spacing works better for your printer settings by printing the HingeSlackTest() model.

The default slack of 0.5mm is a good starting point. The lowest I managed when printing PLA at 0.2mm resolution with my Anycubic I3+ at normal (i.e. fast) speed was 0.35, but only at very low temperatures (190º) which results in poorer surface finish.
