These auxetic structures swivel and expand in surprising ways! This is a 10x10 variation with a total of 100 squares, each 18x18mm. A cool demonstration of auxetics that is fun to fidget with. This stacked variation is twice as tall with double the hinges to add strength and rigidity along the Z plane... a.k.a. more smooth & satisfying fidgeting! Combine with 18mm Auxetic Tiles to create transforming artworks!
Printing Guidelines
Fairly loose requirements, just make sure your printer isn't overextruding and has decent cooling so none of the parts fuse. I used 0.16mm layer height, 3 shells. No supports!

I am a HUGE FAN, and for my birthday (which was not long ago ) I got a 3d printer the FLASHFORGE creator pro, is it a used one, but it has had some problems and most have been with your products like the springo it just turned into a hard cylinder that I can’t turn into the springo and yesterday I started the auxetic cube 18mm 10x10 and I had to start over many times because the front left and right edges were messing up like falling of the build plate and curling, and finally it was working…….but there was the curling on the same places but not that much, but then it was almost finished at like 84% it stopped almost if it was finished but it said S.D. Card read error, which had happened before but it was almost finished…. Ahhh 😤😡but I thought it might be still useable Because it might just be the finishing touches that I missed but no it was still on the last conecting part and now it is just a big block
With all that stringing and the surface finish, it doesn't look like your printer is tuned well enough to try and print something this intricate. With print in place hinges, any curling on edges will cause the hinges to fuse. When you have a print with like 200 hinges that all have to break free at once, any extra resistance x 200 hinges is going to make it extremely hard to get it working. Definitely wouldn't recommend this as a first print.
Hey, congrats on the new printer! To be honest, this is a pretty advanced print and it requires a really well-tuned printer. From your photos it just looks like the extrusion is just not perfect enough to keep the hinges moving. Maybe you can try with one of the smaller versions (3x3?) and you can scale it up to be easier to print.
