FlexMesh 2.1 Snap Together Flexible Chainmail Mesh

FlexCore 1.0 brings limitless fun. We're not stopping here. Basic shapes are retained, yet we've ditched pins for nubs instead. This has transformed the way we connect objects - it's a snap! Nub connections simplify design and testing, resulting in incredibly robust and adaptable models that allow endless exploration of colors and geometries. With FlexCore 2, you can push beyond current limitations in low-cost 3D printing technology. Multiple spot colors are now at your fingertips. Topologies and geometries become playgrounds for creativity, waiting to be explored with ease. Components snap together with a twist, and just as easily, come apart again for reusability. This revolutionizes our FlexCore designs - an invitation to design more shapes and configurations, sparking endless innovation. The downloads section now houses five and six-sided forms plus nine additional, curved forms, each designed with nub connections for ease of assembly. Take a closer look at TriHull - another innovative flexible mesh design that begs exploration. Browse through the "I Made One" section to witness amazing designs made by you and the FlexCore community. Take part in Inventor Studios' Tinkercad tutorials as they show step-by-step how to model complex forms using FlexCore 2.0 patterns. Enhance your skills further by continuing the collection. Read the FlexCore release notes for the most up-to-date details on changes, prints settings, and new capabilities. Print with ease: Use ABS or PLA plastics at standard FDM and SLA printer resolutions. Your preferred slicing software can work perfectly with Slic3r, Makerware, or Simplify3D. At present, we are running lap 27 through our development process. We know FlexCore has room for growth and many bugs still persist from early releases, including irregular spacing between nub connectors. Check out the release notes for further details on this subject. Here's a helpful guide: On the printed parts connector variation SubWide you can look at an indistinct 'W'. Other new releases (such as Duos', Tri's Quads') feature markings with a unique number pressed onto one of their sides between each set of bumps or depressions. No other marking will be on original versions from earlier updates, only an 'original.' This ensures that anyone has clear guidance to use any piece you are holding. A simple twisting motion enables successful Snap fits, view the tutorial video to observe the full effect at www.cornerval.org/ gallery/things for step by step how its carried out best with most all FlexCore nubs. With new shapes in stock as standard files your order arrives for print parts printing is done quicker in larger quantities then any others ever before on 3D printers, that make sure it takes all time and put forward an awesome idea to see what remixes are made of. We value and depend on each remix, especially since all submitted content enrich the wealth of things everyone is working together with!
