3d printed hexagons

Custom Overlay Designs and DIY Projects

Hi @mo-seph, thanks so much for sharing this! I am feeling hopeful that I might be able to create an overlay thanks to your kindness. Would you mind to share the blank overlay file for 3D printing? I want to try your approach - 3D print a mould and then pour silicon into it to create a flexible overlay.

I just need to make an ‘inventor’s layout’ (which is just a blank layout but with visual indicator, like this Arbhar Harvesting | Episode 04 | Haken EaganMatrix - YouTube ). So your blank layout is what I am looking for.

Thanks!

I use the 3d print directly as mold, the silicone easily releases. Then I put the first color silicone in the mold, leave it to harden for a few hours, then fill the rest of the mold with another color, and use a 2mm acrylic sheet as mold cover. I bend the acrylic a bit, push it on the middle of the mold and flatten it out to the sides, pressing the excess silicone out.

Perfectly adequate for case temps and a nice looking plastic too, good choice..…
