Expandable Flower

thingiverse

This is a version on the Expandable Flower that BDan posted. The flower is an expandable structure capable of changing its shape instantly with ease. Simply push and pull from the sides, then watch in awe as it transforms right before your eyes. The design was based directly on BDan's brilliant creation, but the model itself represents a completely new and innovative take on the structure, skillfully written entirely in OpenSCAD. To make it as simple and stress-free to build as possible using a fused filament printer, I tweaked several features accordingly.
