Kneepad inserts for usage in work pants, military pants, etc, based off the NASA fabric hexagons rendition created by @Keeeal_40260 :: https://www.printables.com/model/15241-nasa-fabric-hexagons

The “ULKA” will be removed in a later version as it is an existing company. 

Print in 95A TPU - or for a rougher feel print in alternative filaments such as PA6/12-CF or PA6/12-GF (for totally non-conductive use)

Measurements:
Width: ( 4.9" ) 125mm
Height: ( 9.3" ) 236 mm

393 MB model so it will take a long time to slice. I will simplify the model later after testing.

Future ideas: 

  1. Replaceable honeycomb plate inserts that go into the tpu plate sections, so printed nylon plates can be folded into the Tpu & used as a hardstop to prevent screws, nails, hard rocks etc from puncturing through spongey Tpu and into your knee
  2. Option 2 would be pause print command, where 3d printed carbon fiber nylon plates are inserted then the print is continued - achieving the same result without the option for user serviceability but providing a more rugged initial setup
