This watering can consists of two parts: A hexagonal patterned outer part, and an inner part that fits snugly inside. The dual color model can be printed with a single extruder. However, there is a twist: As the outer part encloses the inset to lock it in place, the inset has to be printed using a flexible material. This allows squeezing it inside:
| Step 1: preparation | Step 2: Fold and squeeze the flexible inset into the outer part | Once fully inserted, the outer part encloses the flexible inset and locks it in place. |

Printing instructions
Outer part ("hexagonal patterned skeleton"):
- use PLA/PETG or similar
- I recommend organic supports
- a printfile sliced at 0.3mm layer height is included
Flexible inset:
- use a Flex material; I used yellow Extrudr Medium TPU (98A)
- no supports required
- 0.3mm layer height
