Summary
This is an easy to print, and fully functional Alien Chestburster Halloween custom.
You just need to print the mechanism and the head, clip together, take a belt and knot a fishing line or in my case a Waxed Denteal Floss onto its place and read to scare!
Here you can see how easy is that:https://youtu.be/iz7sXwunJf8

2mm Z hop when rectract. (My retraction was not the best, thats why I’ve got many strings, if your retraction tuned well, than the separation will be even easier than in my case, as you seen on the video)
I printed my model from PETG, becase of the higher durability.
With PLA not tested yet!
For the head I used 10% infill till the throat part to be some support for it, after that just 3 walls and 5 solid top layers has been used.
For the mechanism I’ve just used 3 walls and 5 top and buttom solid layers and no infill.
How I Designed This
The base idea came form the Platform Jack, but I have redesigned the whole thing from scratch and optimised it till I got this version. It looks really complex from a close view, but every little detail has a function.
