I wanted to print a fan that could actually be folded and stuck in a pocket. This does require ribbon, string, or thread of some kind to actually pull off.

One day I will have time to create the one in my head that is fully 3D printed, but it is not this day or month….and to be completely honest next week/month isn't looking great either…

For my prototypes, I used PETG at .2 Structural. They all printed great, though you do have to be careful removing the actual rose part as sometimes that part does pop free as easily. 

When you tie them together make sure to alter the knots to every other side or it won't fold as nicely. I made the fan end pieces and center pieces different files, so that you could print as many center sections as you wish. The one down side of this current design is it isn't as stiff at the bottom where you hang onto it, so the more you have (center sections) the more it may shift (if that makes sense) when you use it.

Let me know your thoughts if you do actually print it!
