About this model
<p>I've been trying ways to make flexible fabric. This is the thinnest flag I could make. Dimensions are 240.4 x 120.4 x 0.9 mm. The print won't be perfect as the white part around the maple leaf is printed 0.3 mm above the bed.</p><h4>Slicing (.3mf file supplied for PrusaSlicer)</h4><ul><li><p>Use 0.15-mm layers.</p></li><li><p>Set 'skirt loops' to 0 in print settings.</p></li><li><p>Slice, then add the colour changes at 0.3 and 0.6 mm. There should be two layers of red, then two layers of white, then two layers of red. I used PLA.</p></li></ul><h4>Printing</h4><ul><li><p>This is VERY delicate, so any imperfections will be more obvious! </p></li><li><p>After the first two red layers, you may want to check for and CAREFULLY remove any stray 'threads', avoiding lifting the print!</p></li><li><p>Change to white filament and ensure the nozzle is clean. (I hold a wire brush below the nozzle before hitting 'color changed correctly'.) Print the two white layers.</p></li><li><p>Change to red, clean up any white threads, then print the top two red layers.</p></li><li><p>Finally clean up any red threads before the print cools.</p></li></ul><p>I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Europe for our Canadian friends!</p>
