You can just change the wall settings in your slicer based on your preference!

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!

 

Recommended Profile:

  • 3 Walls
  • 15% Infill
  • PETG Filament or stronger
  • No Supports 

Please give me a feedback on any improvements or any issues in the comments!
Thank You 😊
