Kirigami Basket

thingiverse

This unique basket draws inspiration from traditional kirigami designs, allowing it to print flat without any support material. To bring this design to life, simply grasp the edge of the model and gently pull it into its final shape as shown in the accompanying picture. You have two options: a version with handles or one without, depending on your specific needs. Keep in mind that the type of material used to print this basket significantly impacts its form and function. For instance, the orange basket printed from PETG boasts exceptional strength compared to the white model made from PLA. On the other hand, printing the basket from polypropylene (PP) yields a flexible netting rather than a traditional basket, perfect for holding fruit. Experiment with different materials to unlock new possibilities!
