FABRICATION FILES¶
The fabric for the shirt was lasercut from repuposed white cotton sateen sheets using a Xtool S1 with a conveyor belt attachement. The files 1 2 were developed in Affinity.
The structural snap elements were printed on a Bambu A1 and a Flashforge using Bambu Transparent PTEG. The files were developed in Tinkercad. To create the snap tape 3, pause the print at layer 4, apply the organza tapes, and secure with magnets befor continuing the print. The snap sockets 4 can be printed using a Darkmoon LUX Build Plate for a reflective finish.
The hexagon and square modular appliques were lasercut using an Xtool M1 Ultra. The file 5 was developed in Affinity.
