A cube of eight hinged blocks that folds in on itself: twist it one way and it turns inside out, fold it the other and it closes back into a cube, which is the whole trick and the reason one stays on a desk. It prints as a single piece with its hinges already in place, in two sizes, and needs no supports or assembly.
Design by Print3DFamily
A star that opens and closes as you spin it: a print-in-place kinetic fidget with no assembly and no supports, so it comes off the plate ready to twist. Spinning it expands the arms from a closed cone into an open fan and back, which is the part that keeps hands busy, and it looks good parked on a desk either way. Best in a silk or colour-changing filament, which is what the designer recommends.
Design by Big-D-SyneS
A pencil holder wearing a puffer jacket: quilted panels all round, with a zip, a collar and sleeves running up the sides. It holds pens, pencils, markers, brushes or small tools, and it is sturdy enough to be knocked about a desk. About two hours of printing, and the quilted panels take filament colours well - solid winter colours, pastels, or something loud.
Design by Sitsero
A crocodile printed as a chain of flexing segments - ridged back, four stubby legs and a tail that swings - so it wriggles and curls in your hand. 4.0" long, printed in one piece.
Design by ThePrintDrawer

Enlarged and remixed by yusuffles from matveymoo's "Curled up Friendly Slug", and sold under the same share-alike licence.
Design by yusuffles
A hanging books-read counter: a sign with a row of numbers that slide into it, so the count can be moved along as the year goes. It is two plates - the sign with one of each number, and a second sign with the numbers again so the count can pass ten - and either can be bought on its own. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by ZHeights
An articulated dragonfly: the body and each wing are cut into flat segments joined by print-in-place hinges, so it flexes in the hand and settles back flat when you set it down. It prints as one piece with no supports, 4" across by 2.7".

A lucky toad, printed in one piece with no supports, about 1.9" across and 2" tall with its little belly. Four come at the bulk rate.

Design by TinkerLink
A snake printed in one piece with its body jointed along the whole of its length, so it coils and straightens as you play with it and holds whatever shape you leave it in. The scales run along its back and give it something to grip with. The designer prints it at 0.16 mm layers or finer at 100% scale, which is what keeps the joints free - print it coarser and it will come out stiff.
Design by Bash Studio 3D
A one-piece toy bow with a springy arrow that launches when you pull it back. Prints as a single piece with no assembly - ready to play with straight off the plate.
Halloween tokens that flip and slide: a disc in a frame that turns over in the hand and clicks through a stop, in five designs from a small 2.6" ghost to a wide 3.4" one. Pick the token you want - each prints in one piece with the disc already in its frame. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by Toddy's Trinkets
A dragon that prints in one piece with every plate of its body already jointed, so it coils and straightens straight off the bed - no supports, no assembly, and no loose parts. The spikes run the length of its back and read as armour when it is posed on a shelf. Three sizes: Small is 116 mm nose to tail, Medium is 140 mm and fits an A1 mini, and Large is 223 mm - the one that needs a full-size bed. The designer asks that anyone selling prints credit them and link the model page, which this listing does.

Design by iNkosi3D
A baby dragon 3.9" long, printed in one piece. Two versions come off the plate: the flexi one is a chain of segments that curls and straightens in your hand, and the solid one is a single rigid body with the same shape. Pick which you want. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by Quantrex
A ghost bookmark: a flat spectre that hooks over the page, thin enough not to splay the spine. There are seven of them in the file, each a slightly different ghost, so pick the one you want - about 1.2" by 4" and printed flat. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A chunky little turtle with a big head, four stubby legs and a tiny tail, and a keyring loop moulded into its shell, so it sits on a desk or dangles off a bag. It is 1.6" by 1.2" and prints in one piece with nothing to assemble. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by Type1Printing
A baby stone dragon in one piece: the plates of its body are jointed all the way down, so it curls and straightens and holds whatever shape you leave it in, and it stands on its four legs because the legs are part of the same print. This is the wingless one, so nothing catches on a sleeve or a shelf. Two sizes - 4.2 inches and a 2.5 inch pocket-sized version - both printed in place with no supports. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
Design by Bash Studio 3D
A print-in-place finger catapult: two halves that come off the plate already joined, with a sprung arm that flicks a small pellet across the desk. 3.1" long, about 13 g of plastic. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
Design by somtru
A bunny printed as a chain of flexing segments with a carrot to go with it, so it curls up in your hand and springs straight again. The set prints as one plate - a 2.4" bunny and its carrot - and comes in a single colour or with the parts in different ones. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by TinkerTogether
A dinosaur that looks knitted rather than moulded - cable ribs down its back, a stitched belly and little knitted feet - printed as one piece. 3.0" long, and the stitch texture is the print itself, not a pattern painted on. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by TinkerLink
An articulated baby dragon: the body, tail and neck are cut into segments joined by print-in-place hinges, with the head and its small horns on top. It is 4.5" long and prints in one piece. Choose the finish: solid is the plastic alone, and each extra colour is a filament change at the printer, charged at the shop's $1 a colour. Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by BashStudio3D

Design by Helios3D

Design by LukesWorkshopBuilds
An eight-legged octopus printed in one piece with its legs already articulated: no supports, no assembly, and it wriggles the moment it comes off the plate. Small enough for a desk or a pocket, and the designer's own profile runs it at 0.16 mm layers, two walls and 8% infill. It takes a two-colour silk filament especially well, which is how the designer's sample is printed. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A dinosaur cut into interlocking jigsaw pieces and sold as the whole set: twelve chunky pieces, printed flat in PLA, that push together into the animal and come apart again. Two editions, cut differently from the same artwork - Adult and Kid, with the Kid edition's tabs cut larger for smaller hands. Both print as a set with no supports and nothing to glue, and the loose pieces store as the shape they make. The Adult set is about 322 g of plastic and the Kid set about 352 g, so each one is a multi-plate print rather than an afternoon. Designed by oymate and printed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0). The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
Design by oymate
Twelve little pals off one plate, each about two inches across and printed as a single piece, with no supports and nothing to assemble. Pick the one you want - the size on each chip is that pal's own width by height, so a 2.8"x1.6" one is a different creature from a 2.0"x1.4". Shown as a render, not a photo.
Design by Apricity

Design by Elite_1650
A segmented caterpillar that wriggles: every segment is jointed to the next, printed as one piece with nothing to assemble and no supports, so it comes off the plate already moving. Two lengths - the short one at 5.4 inches and the longer twelve-segment version at 7.2 - and the longer one is the one to buy if you want it to drape and coil in your hand. Prints at 0.2 mm layers in PLA, and it takes a colour change well if you want the segments striped. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
Design by Timmy_1293

A bat whose wings are cut into linked segments, so they flex when it is handled and settle into a curve on a shelf - printed in one piece with every joint already free. 3.9" across the wingspan, about 7 g of plastic. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A dart-shaped glider printed as one piece: 24 cm nose to tail, 15.8 cm across the wings, 12 mm at its thickest, and about 7 g of plastic. It prints flat, so the whole plane lifts off the plate as one object with nothing to glue together - and being flat it takes a minute or two of plastic rather than a flight.

The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.
