Description

Instructions Hardware Filaments

Bendy Bonsai - Beginner I've designed a bunch of functional plants in the past. This time I wanted to do something small and aesthetic. These look great on a desk, and remind you to be focused and productive while providing you with some fidgeting fun.

But how do they work? The plants print flat with articulating hinges. The hinges are fully print in place! Just be careful when you break the mechanism free especially if using wood filament.

Quick and Easy Printing This print is super fast, and super easy. Nothing takes more than a few hours to print. And they use up very little filament. Print using a multi-color printer for best results. and make sure to use the Easy Print 3mf if you have a Bambu Lab printer!

Turned out beautifully!

Also I wanted to share about hack for getting joints unstuck without breaking if you have a type of filament that is not freeing as easily. Regular matte PLA seems to cooperate with that better but here was a workaround for this iridescent filament so I stopped breaking them:

A forest of bendy bonsai!

Printed in Bambu matte Sakura Pink, Grass Green, and Dark Brown

Also some flush object trees I used to reduce the waste!

Printed great. The hinges are a little fragile, especially if you print in a matte filament; otherwise, these were fun and got a lot of attention at a recent market.

Hey! I am trying to print this model, but when I uploaded it to Bambu Studio and sliced it, it would not let me print. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

Hi, That does sound like a problem. What error are you getting exactly? We make all of our 3mf's in Bambu Studio currently so it should open and slice just fine in Bambu Studio so I would be happy to help figure out what is happening.
