Houndstooth topper for beanie
This is the file for a Houndstooth patterned hat topper. This is for printing on a build plate of 256mm x 256mm or larger.
You'll need a mild to moderate level of 3D printing, in addition to basic sewing skills.
This print is .64mm high. I use a .4mm nozzle and .2mm layer height. The first layer is .24mm, there is a pause built in before the second layer starts where a thin mesh fabric must be set and held in place by either magnets or tape. The print is then resumed, and completed on the third layer. These layers generally need to be printed at slower speeds. My average is 50mm/s, with a hotend temp around 220. Pay careful attention of the prime line, or any other calibrating line that may be extruded, as this model takes up the entire build plate and I have often missed it.
