hard📝 Application Q9 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand flexibility needs
Flexible prints require continuous, smooth internal structures and moderate density.Step 2: Analyze pattern properties
Gyroid pattern provides continuous 3D support that allows bending without breaking.Step 3: Assess density impact
15% density offers enough material for shape while maintaining flexibility; higher densities reduce flexibility.Final Answer:
Gyroid pattern at 15% density -> Option AQuick Check:
Gyroid + moderate density = flexible print [OK]
Quick Trick: Gyroid pattern with moderate density improves flexibility [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Choosing high density that reduces flexibility
- Picking grid or honeycomb which are stiffer
- Assuming lowest density always means flexibility
