Flexi-text - Customizable flexible texts

by Christian_Kirk

Originally uploadet by me on my Printables . What is this? 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. How and why did I make this? 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. How do to make your own Flexi-text? 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.
