Description
Meet the ultimate portable seat – fully 3D printable, foldable and functional straight off the print bed.
Fold’n’Sit is designed to push the limits of what’s possible with print-in-place mechanics, while still being practical, strong, and surprisingly comfortable.
- 🪑 No assembly needed – Just print, unfold, and sit. (ok, you need to brake away supports 1st time, and add rope)
- 🕒 Print time: ~20 hours
- 🎯 Filament use: ~970g (fits on a single 1kg roll)
- 💪 Tested for up to 110kg* – sturdy enough for real use
100kg person can sit on it, but there are another print profile for 2kg version - for this 110kg person can also stand on it. - 📏 Print size: 330 x 220 x 250mm (max for X1/P1 bed diagonally)
- 🌿 Use it anywhere – garden, garage, workshop, campsite
- 🧼 Bonus use: Fold it and use as a kneeling pad for gardening
- 🎒 Portable: Add a simple rope to carry it on your shoulder
Whether you’re looking for a convenient outdoor seat or a creative print-in-place project, Fold’n’Sit delivers. Ready to sit? Let’s print!
P.S. I will upload 2 print profiles:
ONE - from 1kg PETG Person up to 110kg can sit on it!
TWO - from 2kg PETG Person up to 100kg can stand on it!
It can be printed also from PLA, but us I understand PLA in not a good choice if you use it outdoors in the sun!
IF you change settings, check that there is support layer between leg parts before press print!
Here is test model from ~1.7kg filament, and me (about 105kg) standing on it:
