MALLA | Woven String Art Deco

MALLA | Woven String Art Deco

3D printed woven texture meets String Art

This wall deco blends 2 of my favourite concepts:
• a lightweight but strong woven pattern that makes the outer ring
• and String Art printing in mid-air without supports.

It comes in 3 sizes to fit all printers:
• Ø250mm
• Ø208mm
• Ø178mm

And it can be printed with a regular 0.4 or 0.8mm nozzle.
Check out the detailed print settings (but nothing particularly tricky).

DIMENSIONS (Large) | Ø 250 mm x H30 mm
DIMENSIONS (Medium) | Ø 208 mm x H30 mm
DIMENSIONS (Small) | Ø 178 mm x H30 mm

3D PRINT SETTING:

The STL files are already oriented properly.

You can pick between 2 types of weave width:
- a 0.9mm weave to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle, 2 wall lines
- a 1.7mm weave to be printed with a 0.8mm nozzle, 2 wall lines.

The strings print better and cleaner with a 0.4mm nozzle, since the lines are more lightweight.
But 0.8mm nozzle lines work too (so 1.7mm weave), are more visible and particularly nice as a wall deco item.

The only trick is to set the layer height to 0.3mm.

For a 0.4mm nozzle:
• Use the 0.9mm weave STL files
• Layer height: 0.3mm/layer (ignore the layer height warning)
• Line width: 0.5mm
or set the "wall generator" to "Arachne for Bambu Studio users.
• Build adhesion type: None
• Supports: None

For a 0.8mm nozzle:
• Use the 1.7mm weave STL files
• Layer height: 0.3mm/layer (ignore the layer height warning)
• Line width: 0.85mm
or set the "wall generator" to "Arachne for Bambu Studio users.
• Build adhesion type: None
• Supports: None

Happy printing!
