##Bowrigami - A Wearable Origami Bow-Tie Made with Fabric and 3D Printing A unique bow-tie made possible by combining 3D printing on a tulle net, creating a wearable origami! **WORK IN PROGRESS: More Details Coming Soon** Feel free to ask questions or suggest modifications. Share your thoughts in the comments and show off your creations! There are two design types: one is more aggressive and asymmetrical, while the other is classic and symmetrical. The supports are designed for use with a 25mm ribbon. When folded, the body can be glued, but it's not strictly necessary - it should remain locked in place by the supports. To get your Bowrigami: Choose a fabric, such as tulle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulle_(netting)), which is perfect because the melted plastic fills its gaps and joins the lower and upper parts of the print. Get a large enough piece of fabric to cover the "body" of the bow-tie. Start printing the body of the bow-tie. Stop the print at half height (0.6mm) manually or using slicers "stop at height" functionality. Position the fabric against the first part of the print and secure it to the build plate with a heat-resistant scotch tape. Beware not to move the build plate or let the print cool down too much during this phase. Restart the print and complete it. Cut the remaining chunks of fabric on the external edges of the bow-tie body. Optionally, remove the fabric from inside the triangles using a cutter. Print the bow-tie support. Fold the bow-tie and put it in its support properly. Use an elastic ribbon to fit it around your neck. The folding technique used in these designs can be easily reconfigured to generate different results and shapes. Some ideas: Triangles can be reduced or incremented in dimension. Triangles' width can be reduced to achieve a lighter design. The more rigid the fabric, the sturdier the final result will be. Triangles can be designed asymmetrically: isosceles. The border of the triangles can be thickened or increased. Some triangles can be printed fully to achieve a 2D pattern. Print it and share your results! It's easy - just click "post a make" or download [3D Geeks: for 3D Printing APP](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=work.twob.threed) and take a pic! I'd love to know that my design was helpful.
