Description
A silk spinner cocon for chopsticks.
(This print is not entirely serious)
There is no stl file for this "print". It is up to your imagination how you configure it. Look at the GIF, then you know how it can work.
If you have ever seen how to make candyfloss, you can imagine it better.
Perhaps you also have ideas on how to make it even better, simpler and more beautiful. I would be happy to see other ideas.
Of course I realise that I can't generate any downloads, but so what? Maybe one or the other is inspired by the idea.
I used a small piece of round wood from my workshop with a diameter of 8 mm. But a chopstick should also work.
Heat the nozzle a little higher than normal depending on the material (PLA, PETG, ). Then follow the same steps as when you change the filament. Set the refuel to 250-300mm and give it a try.
If you are confident with the handling, you can set the refuel to 500 mm. It is important that you make even movements.
The first thread guide should wrap around the wooden stick like a spiral spring, the rest is up to your imagination.
Sure, it's only for one-time use, but it's a great gimmick for a dinner with friends.
