About this model

I designed this in Fusion 360 (Fusion file attached). Just meant as an experiment to create compliant mechanisms with 3d printing. But I find it an interesting way to compare different materials flexibility and stiffness. Print settings do not really matter. If you need strength you may want to print at 100% infill.
