Flexi Guardian - Rotating Head Remix (Zelda Breath of the Wild)

This is a remix of Crafty Sven's excellent articulated Guardian. Just like the original, it prints without supports. 

When I first printed the original model, I was honestly surprised that the head isn't designed to move - because most of the geometry necessary for the ball joint is already there thanks to the underlying "Ancient Core". So getting the head to rotate was basically just a matter of chopping it off and connecting it to the core.

I also tweaked the overall proportions a little bit and remodeled the claws to more closely match the Guardian's in-game design. They are a bit of a torture test for your printer now, but definitely printable.

In addition to the single-color version, there's also a painted multicolor version. Enjoy :)
