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. 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.

  • .stl for the PRINTABLES text.
    • Printed in 55 minutes on my K1.
