Origami Penguin Printagami Flex Material

Looking for a unique decorative piece for your home or wanting to gift something special? Step into the creative world of 3D printing with this Origami Penguin design. This standout model skillfully designed by Nova Light, will certainly bring an artistic touch to any space. The model, designed for printing with flex material, creates a delightful origami penguin that can serve as a fascinating winter-themed conversation piece.

Be it a fun desk ornament or nostalgic home decor, this 3D penguin design brings the much-loved winter bird to life in all its geometric glory. Don't be confined to the monochromes; enhance the visual appeal by printing them in any color of your choice. You can even adjust the X/Y size of the model for scaling, but remember to hold the Z scale constant for the best results.

For assembly my TPU was too springy, so I did have to use super glue in several of the folds to keep it in place. Please be prepared to glue this model to get good results! <3

TPU Material Only 0.25mm Layer Height Solid model with no infill. Be sure to use a spiral top and bottom layer for layer cohesion. I used octagram spiral for this piece and recommend it if your printer has it!

To get this folding result fold the penguin towards the printed side first. The slick printed side should face outwards for the first folds. After that unfold the model and re-fold the entire thing with the textured side face outwards. This creates a proper fold line for the model to follow along the engineered channels.
