I'm thrilled to be sharing this here, and if you'd like me to keep sharing stuff for free, please give it a thumbs up! I'm an extremely introverted exhibitionist who can only accept limited forms of approval. If you're looking for an easy-to-assemble mesh, I've just uploaded one that's a snap to put together - check it out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3164774 This version of my new mesh prints assembled and is joinable to other prints via the previous mesh I posted here (or through a tedious process with a hot knife). The previous mesh can be a bit tedious to assemble, but using it as joining links works great. I'll post some different length dumbbells so that people can make non-flat meshes without having to use threaded posts - check them out here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3130780 It's incredibly strong and yet drapes and handles beautifully. One thing that I tried and am pleased with is that rather than just a socket, I've made a slot for the dumbbell joining bars, which allows for about 4mm of travel in and out, making this much softer and more fabric-like. I'll post some images of it draped over non-flat surfaces soon. Here's a YouTube video: https://youtu.be/LpFVf1TjPeo
