Nasa fabric from triangle tiles

Works as a fidget or as a part of cosplay armor.

 

This is far the coolest thing that I've modelled and printed. Through errors to success!

• Triangle side length 15mm
• 13mm thick
• Clearance between the tiles is 0,3mm, 1st layer clearance bigger (small chamfer)

• Holds easily your bodyweight if you load it evenly

   

Print info:

• Print files and STL's for 3 different sizes
• Make sure that your Z offset is adjusted properly especially if you print with other brands than Bambu.
• Smallest triangle fabric is a good test piece, but it doesn't give the feeling of nice 3d printed fabric. 
• Print files work nicely, I prefer to use those. Biggest sizes are made for dual color print with 1 color change → 0,8mm of tiles surface different color, prime tower not needed
• Print it solid
• Test fabrics printed with Sunlu's PLA Meta
• Print takes time, hope you have it - But it'll be worth it

Connector info:

• You are now able to join fabric pieces together with a double pin connector
  • Print a test piece first
• Pins go through the fabric, between the knots. I used every second knot hole to connect.
• Washers are installed from inside with a double-click feature. 1st click holds and 2nd click locks. Pin has 2 grooves.
• Test pieces made from Sunlu's PLA meta and Fujtechs Silk PLA. 
  • Connection made with PLA meta is openable several times, but Silk PLA breaks easily. It's quite cool though.
• My hand didn't fit through the fabric loop after I connected it when I took those pictures. Gladly I had firewood :)
