Production

Optimized for standard 0.40mm nozzles; all settings are in the 3mf files. Please use the provided setting, as these are critical to the function of the compliant hinges. Just select your printer and your material in your slicer.

Tested with Prusa i3 Mk3s, 0.40mm nozzle Prusa Slicer 2.5.0 and PETG, ASA, ABS.

PLA is not recommended, as it is not elastic enough.
