Flexi Fila Swatch (filament samples made fun - flexible calibration)

PRINT-CHALLENGE!

Whoever prints this first in 30 different colors/filaments, and upload a make here on Printables, will get there name/profile featured from this model-description! Good luck - and happy printing! At this date, when releasing this model, I have printed it in 17 different colors/filaments myself :-)

Description

This model is made to combine 2 things: a personal color-swatch-collection and ‘fidgeting’. I ended up making this flexible chain of color-swatch-links that just snap together after printing. And to top it, I designet a little cute astronaut head to go on top. This is a permanent resident on my desk now :-)

Overview

There are multiple style of the links. You can print one or more in every color - whatever you feel like.

• Basic Link
• Hollow Link
• Layers Link (to see the layer-transparency - 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 mm)
• Bridge Link (to see bridging capabilities)
• Shapes Link (to see tiny shapes / retraction)

And then of course the optional (but cute) astronaut-robo-head ;-)

Assembly

When printed, simply snap them together.

Too tight? Use a lille sandpaper and sand down the pointy bit a litte - quick and easy fix!

Print instructions

Here is a few ideas for slicer-settings:

• Speed on first layer: 50% (To ensure good bed adhesion take your time here!)
• Supports: NO supports
• Brim: NO brim

Happy printing!
