This membership is for those that would like to 3D print my files, for commercial purposes. You are not allowed to resell the file itself. You are only able to resell with an active commercial license. You will gain immediate access to the full library, with content added monthly. You will also have a voice when guiding what the future patterns and models will be!

I was inspired to create this using a recycled filament from Reflow Filament, based in the Netherlands. I also used a color changing white to purple PLA from Inland filament for the clouds and the border. You can color it however you'd like! Since I love using holographic build plates (found at https://kaizen3dprints.com/collections/p-flat-plates ) I printed two sides to glue together at the outer ring so I could have the holographic effect on both sides as it twirls around in front of my window.

There are two sizes, one for a 256x256 build plate, and another for a 180x180 build plate. There is a 3MF file with all of my print settings, or you can download the individual STL and try at it with your own settings. This is printed with 5 layers, at 1.2mm tall. I printed it at .24mm layer height with a .4mm nozzle. There is a pause command added at layer 4 where you will add your fabric and magnets, then resume the print. You can decrease the thickness to 3 layers, .72mm just change the pause to layer 2 instead of layer 4.

You can use whatever mesh you'd like, as long as it's thickness doesn't exceed your layer height. I used Illusion mesh for this print. You can find fabric sample packs on my website as well - https://kaizen3dprints.com/products/fabric-sample-pack I print at 35mm/s on the first layer using the PFLAT sheets, and 50mm/s on the other layers. When printing with fabric, and lots of small parts, I prefer taking the time instead of bumping up the print speed and having a potential failure. I've attached a printing on fabric guide that has some links and more info.
