About this model

Please link to my video and article if you use this, thanks! EDIT: the model from the YT video is "Tetra1_Requiring_supports.STL". - No need for flexible material, regular PLA works fine. - The thin walls are 0.7 mm, this worked best on a Prusa printer with a nozzle of 0.4 mm, it then creates two lines with a small overlap. - The rotation point of the Tetra 1 design is located 115 mm from the top of the joint - The rotation point of the Tetra 2 design is at 50 mm distance from the surface of the joint - I have added some templates to create your custom joint Also check out the upload from juani_cer he replicated the Tetra II design from my article and Johnrandersen added a pen to it. Edit: ThinkingPegasus created a remix of this particular design as well! Thanks everyone for your contribut…
