Flexi-text - Customizable flexible texts

thingiverse

Originally uploadet by me on <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/506051-flexi-text-customizable-flexible-texts">my Printables</a>. <b>What is this?</b> Flexi-texts are customizable text models with links that make them able to flex just as any other flexible 3D design. With Flexi-texts you can make your own text flexible wether it is your name, company logo/name or a fun gift. <b>How and why did I make this?</b> This was actually inspired by the Quick Flexis Contest (on Printables). I though that this contest would be a nice and fun way to design and learn something myself. However, I did not want to make any animal since a lot of those flexis already exists so I came up with the idea of flexible texts. This was designed in Fusion360 and tested on my Creality K1. <b>How do to make your own Flexi-text?</b> It is fairly easy to make your own Flexi-text. I have attached a Fusion360 template file. This file contains all that is nessasery to create your own Flexi-text. Furthermore, I have created a video guide to walk you through the process of creating your own. This video can be viewed right here or downloaded from the .zip archive under other files. <b>Flexi-text - TEMPLATE GUIDE (Video)</b> <iframe width="475" height="267" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/EQ4C0R8Dp9s" title="Flexi-text - TEMPLATE GUIDE" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe> <b>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</b> <b>Files</b> I have uploaded 4 different files: - The Fusion360 template file. - The Fusion360 template guide video. - .zip archive under other files. - .stl for the PRINTABLES text. - Printed in 55 minutes on my K1. - .stl for the TEST text. - Printed in 20 minutes on my K1. <b>Print settings:</b> Printer: Creality K1 (You can use any printer you want) Slicer: Creality Print, with my own print profile.
