How do you connect 3D printed textiles? | 5 Methods to Attach 3D printed Fabric

[@XatxiFly]

Such a cool and useful video, thank you! I was wondering about how it would go in the sewing machine, good to know you can use a leather needle (if that's what you said?).

[@VariableSeams]

Cool! Happy to hear. :) and yes correct, that’s what I meant (and probably mispronounced hahaha, in my latest videos I’ve added subtitles;)

[@fruechtekorb]

Very inspiring! I have been working on a wearable keyboard. And Iwas trying to attache the mechanics to a wristwarmer. I had a lot of problems with the interfacebetween my metal or plastic parts and the Fabrics or the knitted parts. I think I am trying to print the part and the fabrics together now. Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences!

[@VariableSeams]

Sounds like a really interesting project!! Let me know if you’d want a tutorial focused on a certain topic. 👍

[@Kanomu-p4k]

Thank you very much, it was very helpful. From Japan

[@VariableSeams]

どうぞ. You’re very welcome. :)

[@BrunoTognin]

OMG ! you have your own custom infill pattern!! you should be such a huge vip on 3D printed fashion world !! 😱😱 i will definitely like and subscribe !!

[@VariableSeams]

Hahaha, thought you might ;)

[@vitorumpierre]

Nice tips!

[@VariableSeams]

Thank you! 🥰

Awesome video of the different techniques. Thank you for putting this together. You mentioned Chrisia from Superinted at 4:55 (took that from the transcript). I think I misunderstood. Would you be willing to point me to their socials? Thank you

[@VariableSeams]

You’re very welcome Pat! Hahaha yes, that’s not quite it indeed! Krizia from @sewprinted makes some amazing content on this topic, so definitely check her out! 🙌

Absolutely excellent and helpful video!!❤ I am getting addicted to your voice now :) BTW also highly recommend to test with conductive TPU, it would work as kind of sensor to collect your movement data etc

[@VariableSeams]

Omg conductive TPU??! That sounds like it HAS to be tested and added to a new project. 🤩 Is there a particular garment that you'd love to see?

[@1trickpwny]

You're someone that could REAAAAALLY benefit from a Creality CR-30 so you don't have to do so many small squares.

[@VariableSeams]

OMG you are reading my mind! Who needs a Bambulabs when you can get an infinite build plate?! 🤩

[@TheBinklemNetwork]

Not sure if you have done this, but how would you approach joining the 3d printed fabrics like dragon scales etc? A lot of cosplay enthusiasts would be eager to know

[@VariableSeams]

Hi! Depends how you’ve printed them. If you print them in resin (like chain maille) there should be connector pieces included by the 3D model designer to click the scaled chain maille fabrics together - so that would be using the modular method to connect them. Or alternatively, if you 3D print the scales on textile, you’d sew the underlying textiles together with a sewing machine (or in case of very big scales) by hand. ☀️

​​@@VariableSeamswhile I certainly was overthinking the task, you are clearly brilliant. Thank you!!!

[@VariableSeams]

@@TheBinklemNetwork no problem at all! DM me on insta if you have any more questions- happy to help :D

[@mopkhgh2179]

I came here for two reasons : the first one is to learn new stuff and the second one is to clean my eyes by your beauty damn girl you gorgeous 😀 want to get married ? 😂

[@VariableSeams]

You're too sweet! Happy that it's helpful!

[@Scab5679]

you said most printer have a print area of 30 square cm… I suppose you mean 30 cm by 30 cm… that is 900 cm squared

[@VariableSeams]

Lol, let’s just say I’ve never gotten great scores for mathematics 😂
