Printable VELCRO

This is the first iteration (third internal) of my attempt to make printable Velcro. It is pretty nice to hang things, probably this small piece will resist much more than a kilogram of weight (hanging weight) and it is very easy to remove.

3d printing revolution is just starting, I don't say this is a flawless piece but I really consider it is a very good example about a very sweet future about us modifying our brains from "search-buy-adapt" (frustration included) to "think-design-print" (self-pride included :D ).

Quick demo video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtLSMI3xVDY
Quick demo #2 (perpendicular): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLehgIfjmpA

This was an object that did not exist in our 3d printing world, so I like to think this is an "upgrade" from real world to a better virtual&teleportable world ;)

Instructions

1. Print (I used 0.3 mm layer height, natural 3 mm abs, MK6, 100% fill)
2. There may be some bridges because printing limitations, I used the included blade with my TOM kit to clean a bit the pieces
3. Use it!
