Folds like a normal paper origami frog. Some pieces of the traditional paper fold were removed when re-creating as a print file so the frog isn't so thick when you print it. See picture! It still jumps!

This is a multi material print as seen in the pictures, where the blue material is a flex material and the white material is a rigid material.

I would suggest printing using a PLA based flexible material (i.e. Sakata X920) and PLA to get better bonding between flex and rigid layers. TPU will work but PLA will delaminate a lot quicker off the TPU after a certain amount of bending/folding iterations.

WIP - have plans to improve geometry to reduce delamination between flex and rigid elements.

I do suggest printing the first layer or two of PLA onto of
