Flexible Lightning Wrist Bands and Ankle Band

pinshape

One of the simplest prints in flexible filament is a wristband, but this particular example poses a challenge due to its embossed lightning bolts. To test flexibility, two different types of flexible filaments were used. The lower Shore hardness rating, typically found in Ninjaflex with an SH of 85A, results in a significantly stretchier material. A pink Ninjaflex wristband was printed and easily stretched over my foot to serve as an ankle bracelet. In contrast, the red, white, and blue Cheetah filaments (SH = 95A) were also flexible but failed to meet expectations - I couldn't stretch the medium-sized one over my hand or the large one over my ankle. The small size is designed for kids. This unique design was commissioned from Z. Frew.
