I've been trying ways to make flexible fabric. This is the thinnest flag I could make. Dimensions are 240.4 x 120.4 x 0.9 mm. The print won't be perfect as the white part around the maple leaf is printed 0.3 mm above the bed.

Slicing (.3mf file supplied for PrusaSlicer)

  • Use 0.15-mm layers.

  • Set 'skirt loops' to 0 in print settings.

  • Slice, then add the colour changes at 0.3 and 0.6 mm. There should be two layers of red, then two layers of white, then two layers of red. I used PLA.

Printing

  • This is VERY delicate, so any imperfections will be more obvious!

  • After the first two red layers, you may want to check for and CAREFULLY remove any stray 'threads', avoiding lifting the print!

  • Change to white filament and ensure the nozzle is clean. (I hold a wire brush below the nozzle before hitting 'color changed correctly'.) Print the two white layers.

  • Change to red, clean up any white threads, then print the top two red layers.

  • Finally clean up any red threads before the print cools.

I'd like to extend a warm welcome to Europe for our Canadian friends!
