About this model

Origami with tensioned bends held fast by flexing hooks, all printed as a single vase-mode shell! What is this xmas bauble craziness? Read on! What's this all about? 3D printing is great at cranking out exactly the shapes we design, and it's why we love it so! What I wanted to explore, though, was ways of designing - and engineering - prints in order to build shapes that would be very difficult to produce with static FDM printing. Gradually, that idea firmed into the concept of a design that could be bent to fill space, and would hold its shape despite the tension in the bent material. And hey, while we're at it, let's do the entire structure as one single line! Yup, vase mode! Quick to print, mesmerising to watch, and when we start bending it, it's more like origami than assembly…
