To build the Flex Node Framework you will need to 3d print 2 files. Firstly the Tri-Node which fits standard 35mm wood rods you should be able to source from any hardware store that carries metric measurements \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended 3d printing settings:<\/strong>
3 shells, at least 25% infill (we used 40%) and with a brim (to increase the connection to the build plate). No supports needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filament considerations:<\/strong>
We recommend higher temperature filaments like ABS<\/strong> or PET-G<\/strong>, as this element will need to withstand all the heat from the heat guns you are using for melting the bottles together.
We were using ABSx filament from nobufil<\/a>, a local company in Austria, just outside of Vienna. If you are deciding to use ABS, don\u2019t forget to check the shrinkage of your filament before printing and scale the caps by that value in your slicer. Otherwise the standard 35mm wood rods might not fit.
We strongly advice AGAINST PLA<\/strong>! It has an extremely low melting point and is therefore not suitable for applications involving such high heat<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, to drill the correct angle in the 48mm wood beams you can use this wedge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
