Snap, Twist, Build!

myminifactory

This creation was submitted to the MakeShaper Design Challenge (see all entries here). The challenge for the makeshaper competition is flexibility. Now, Snap, Twist, Build! is printed in flexible filament, which allows the pieces to snap together and entire assemblies to twist. However, another definition of flexible could be "easily adjusted" or "modular", and that's exactly what this building toy is designed to do. Of course, you could create a colorful 2D pattern or mosaic with it. But you could also build a tube. Or a tower. Or a boat or a robot or a boot. You get the point! Two options are available for customization. I chose hexagons and squares because they regularly tile and have an even number of faces, making them easy to attach together. Plus the hexagon reminds me of the makeshaper logo (which would look very nice on these tiles, FYI). So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and start building with Snap, Twist, Build!
