Sanjay Mortimer shared a great test print that explores the possibilities of printing movable parts in TPE based flexible filament, like Ninjaflex.
Emmets dodeca chain, scaled up 150% and cut down to just 3 links. Mendel90 with an E3Dv6 printing grass green ninjaflex. 223c nozzle / 75c bed. 1.3mm retraction at 75mm/s. 20mm/s print speed for all parts of the print. 150mm/s travel speed. Cura.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
The Adafruit Learning System has dozens of great tools to get you well on your way to creating incredible works of engineering, interactive art, and design with your 3D printer! If you’ve made a cool project that combines 3D printing and electronics, be sure to let us know, and we’ll feature it here!
