So I’m sure all of you are beyond sick and tired of seeing these little articulated flexi “buddy” models that have flooded MakerWorld in the past few weeks. I feel like I am mostly responsible for the recent surge in their popularity on here, and I just wanted to personally apologize for that. I promise I will get back to making other models now. lol
Holy cow, I had no idea that I had opened pandoras box…
Do you have life size versions!
My legs barely work and the thought of articulating versions is appealing.
I will be adding some articulated legs to some models in a while.
I aim to create a resurgence.
Join the party! 
I have a few more designs that I had planed but was debating about even posting them here. The brick one was going to be the next one, but someone else beat me to it. lol
Malc, here’s what you’ll look like if @J_B_Custom_Designs gets ahold of you…
Haha!! That’s amazing. Articulated Malc Buddy incoming.
I’m a real boy!
I have to wonder if the laughing emojis are for this bit…
Or this bit…
Mine was from what I pictured when you asked if he had a life size version, it was very similar to the one I photoshopped. I would never laugh at your medical problems Malc.
I do, you should as well. Got to laugh at such misfortune or else…
Definitely the second part. Medical problems are no joke.
Now I want an articulated Malc glaring over me.
Lets not lose focus here, that articulated models should be SHAMED!!!
I was just browsing the new uploads and spotted a thief…
On the ‘positive’ side, he also decided to place your model in the public domain.
The generosity of strangers eh!
Good grief! I’ve reported so many people on other sites for that model. It’s literally popping up everywhere.
Believe me, I put off making them for weeks because I felt bad about designing them. They do really well though, so what’s one supposed to do?
I just reported the guy you found and saw that the guy that stole my socket on printables also stole the wrench that Torbjorn16 made. I reported my model to printables twice, but they don’t care so I got MakerWorld involved. We’ll see if the exclusive model protection is worth anything.
I’m curious to see how that works out too. Printables seems pretty lax on a lot of things. Some guy posted Amazon affiliate links in the comments on one of my models on Printables and they never responded to my reports so I ended up taking the model down.
That’s not great. I’ll update here if/when something happens. I reported it on the 26th.
Both of the Printables models got pulled this morning. Not sure who’s responsible for the takedown though. My Bambu ticket is still in progress so I think it may have been Printables. Several other people had messaged me saying that they had reported him too, so maybe it just took multiple people reporting it.
