A lightweight, solid silhouette textile patch featuring an adult dolphin and its baby, designed specifically to be 3D-printed in flexible TPU and heat-transferred onto garments or accessories.

Unlike standard rigid prints, this design stays flexible, soft to the touch, and moves naturally with the fabric once applied.

### 🧵 How to Apply (Iron-On Transfer)

1. Print the design flat on your build plate using flexible TPU.

2. Pre-heat your fabric (cotton t-shirt, tote bag, canvas) for a few seconds.

3. Position the TPU patch onto the fabric (face up).

4. Cover with parchment paper (baking paper) to protect both the TPU and your iron/press.

5. Apply heat with firm pressure:

- Using a Cricut Mini EasyPress (Medium setting) or household iron (wool/silk setting, ~140–160°C, NO steam).

- Press firmly for 25 to 35 seconds, ensuring the edges and tails adhere well.

6. Let it cool completely before touching or testing flexibility.

### ⚙ Recommended Print Settings

- Filament: Flexible TPU (95A or softer)

- Layer Height: 0.20 mm

- Infill: 100%

- Supports: None needed

### 🐬 Origin & Design

The 3D geometry was generated from an original 2D vector path using Eolexy (https://eolexy.com), an independent, local-first vector-to-STL tool.
