Fabric Fidget

Update 25/11/2023: I've added stronger versions of all 3 sizes. Some people were having difficulty printing the original model, so I've increased the height and thickened the links to give the model quite a bit more strength. The trade off is that the model is slightly less flexible, but definitely still a lot of fun to play with. Hope that helps!

Dual sided triangle “chain mail” style fabric. Fun to play with!

I recommend printing the tester first, as it is really important that the filament adheres well to the bed for a good print. If one triangle gets knocked off the bed, it can ruin the print (though I have had success if one or two get knocked loose).

The easier model to print (and more fun in my opinion) is the 120mm square, but I included a 250mm wide strip for those that want more of it.

I also highly recommend using a plastic scraper to remove the print from the bed, and you won't be able to get the fabric to release by bending the bed, and pulling on the fabric will snap the joints.

Consider changing filament on the middle layer to get a second colour on the flip side of the fabric!

Warning: The 250mm wide version of the fabric takes a very long time to slice!
