Printed Net (Print-in-Place, No Supports)
Print Profile(1)
Description
This is a true 3D printed mesh net — not just holes, but a real woven-style structure that behaves like an actual net.
Designed to be print-in-place with zero supports, this model creates a flexible, lightweight mesh using standard filament. The result is a functional net that can scoop, strain, and drain while maintaining strength and shape.
The mesh structure allows for natural flex and sag, making it ideal for real-world use while still printing cleanly and quickly.
⚙️ Features
- ✅ Print-in-place (no assembly required)
- ✅ No supports needed
- ✅ No brim needed
- ✅ Flexible mesh structure (not perforated holes)
- ✅ Lightweight and strong
🛠️ Use Cases
- 🐟 Aquarium net (goldfish, small fish, debris)
- 🍓 Washing berries and vegetables
- 🍝 Kitchen strainer / scoop
- 🏖️ Sand or small particle sifting
- 🔧 Collecting small parts or scraps
🧠 What makes this different?
Most “nets” are just solid surfaces with holes.
This design uses a linked mesh geometry that mimics real netting, giving it a more natural look, feel, and flexibility.
🖨️ Print Tips
- PLA preferred as PETG can be stringy.
- Due to the extremely fine print-in-place mesh, this model has only been validated on CoreXY printers.
- Make sure the build plate is clean to ensure strong first layer adhesion
- Ensure good first layer adhesion for best results
