From the fruit markets of Thailand to your 3D printer! 🥭✨

I’ve been obsessed with the way people slice mangoes in fruit markets in Thailand, and I knew I had to turn that visual into something tactile.

This is Sliced Mango, my latest fidget design!

 

This project was a huge milestone for me because it’s my first real experiment with TPU 90A. I spent days testing different infills and wall thicknesses to get that perfect flexible feel. It’s incredibly satisfying to open and close—true sensory bliss!

 

No TPU? No problem. 

I also designed a PLA version that uses a hidden rubber band channel to create a snappy, spring-loaded effect. 

Putting the band in is half the fun!

⚠️ Printing Safety Note: > When printing with TPU, please ensure your printer is set up in a well-ventilated area. Flexible filaments can release distinct fumes and ultrafine particles during the extrusion process, so keeping a window open or using an enclosure with a filtration system is highly recommended for a safe making environment.
