The top section features alignment holes to guide assembly, but for optimal strength and durability, it’s recommended to apply glue when attaching the top. The mechanism is a bit stiff to offer the best gram-to-strength ratio; it might be a little hard to open and close, but you get the most strength for less filament.
Perfect for camping, travel, or quick seating solutions, TwistSeat offers a firm yet portable design for everyday use. If you want to use it but its too tall, you can just partially open it, there are 4 levels!
If you like this model, please leave a boost! It took me 20+ hours to design and multiple rolls of filament to refine. Your support means a lot!
