PLAY Polypanels are more robust than the standard panels but the connections are looser. It's the perfect combination for young ones or anyone who doesn't want to deal with the full power of the mighty polypanel!

That said, printer calibration can still affect the connection strength of your Polypanels, making them hard to connect or to loose to hold together. The first thing you might want to play around with is extrusion multiplier or flow rate. More troubleshooting tips on the [Polypanels webpage](https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels#Tips).

_**Printing Guidelines**_

Already rather sturdy at 2 shells, 10% infill, but you may want to go up to 3+ shells for longevity.

A nice big twist top Polypanel for all sorts of containers, enclosures, or whatever you need to slap a cap on! This is the Hexagon variation. You can find the [Pentagon version here](https://than.gs/m/1119927?affiliateCode=MAKE).

**What are Polypanels?**

_"Welcome to the world of Polypanels, a system of snap together parts that let you build whatever you want! It’s like an open-ended construction toy for making functional things, harnessing the power of 3D printing and the community to make it truly  limitless."_

[Intro to Polypanels](https://www.makeanything.design/polypanels)

_**Printing Guidelines**_

A high wall thickness of 5 shells/perimiters will ensure solid snap connectors. From there settings can vary based on your desired outcome. Print solid for the most robust and long lasting joints, or print a lower infill with 0 top and bottom layer thickness for a cool exposed infill pattern.

Polypanels // Hexagon

This “Serpentes nTopologus Hexhoneycombus” is part of a series of three articulating snakes demonstrating various ways that nTopology can be used to design unique topology within complex designs. It incorporates the gyroid TPMS into the body of the snake.

See here for video: https://youtu.be/z7fLPr0367s 

These topology snakes use a unique print-in-place ovoid joint designed to maximize available volume and surface area for other design elements.

This joint type is stronger than the interlocking double ring joints used in many articulated designs, so this design is more suitable for use as a fidget or children’s toy.

These snakes are 72cm in length but will print on a 220mm x 220mm build plate.

Like a “ball and socket” joint, the oval-shaped ovoid from one segment is held in place by a similarly shaped socket in the neighbouring segment. Varying the relative dimensions of the ovoid and socket allows for precise control of the movement between each segment. In this design, lateral side-to-side movement is maximized, but rotation and up/down movement is slightly restricted. This more accurately mimics the “tone” and movement patterns of a real snake.

You may get some small adhesions between segments. Simply apply a bit of force to move the joint the first time, and it will be fine after that.

Playdough Cutters - Basic Shapes

Playdough Cutters Basic Shapes.3mf

Versatile 3D printed hex container for pens, pencils & more. Attaches to Honeycomb walls or mounts directly!

I designed this hexagonal container designed for Honeycomb Storage Walls, but adaptable for any wall space! To install on a wall please use the model HexContainerForWall.stl and for HSW use the hexContainerV8ForHSW.stl 

This container is perfect for organizing pens, pencils, markers, paintbrushes, and other small items. The hexagonal shape seamlessly integrates with Honeycomb systems, but you can also mount it directly to your wall for a unique storage solution.

Optional Hexagonal Grills: Personalize your container with included grill designs or leave it as is.

**It doesn't need supports.**
==============
The accesories are optional. It doesn't require an AMS or multimaterial system. It can be printed in 2 colors in a single color printer.

Update: Just uploaded a .3MF version with all the parts you need to print organized by the type. 

**Buy me a coffe**
I like to share my work for free, but if you enjoy my work and would like to support it and are able too, you can do so through my buy my a coffee page. It will be greatly appreciated! =)
