What is Flexi Toy Maker (MakerLab)?

Flexi Toy Maker is a free browser tool in Bambu Lab's MakerLab that turns a picture into an articulated flexi toy. You upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image, crop it, choose whether to remove the background, and the tool traces it into flat color areas. Then you click to draw hinge lines across the shape wherever it should bend, choosing between thin, medium and thick hinges.

Before downloading you can set the thickness, round the edges with a bevel, add a colored outline and give the middle layer one shared color to cut down on filament swaps. A hook or hole turns the toy into a keychain. A 3D preview lets you drag the model to watch the joints swing, although MakerWorld notes that this motion is a simulation and may not be exact. The download is a color 3MF or a plain STL without color, and the design can also be sent on to Make My Sign.

You need a free MakerWorld login, and the editor is designed for computer browsers; phones get a warning first. It suits parents, teachers and makers who want a personalized fidget toy or keychain from a drawing, pet photo or logo. A printer that can switch filaments gets the most out of the color 3MF.
