Zip or Cable Tie (Reusable) by PuterPro

This is a remix of the PLA+Zip+Tie+(reuseable) from @pablo-santonie , a lovely simple cable tie. He did his in PLA using .2mm thickness to make it flexible (clever boy!), I wanted greater flexibility.
I remixed in Cura 4.8 and changed it to 1mm height (Z), lengthened it to 160mm (X) long x 12mm (Y) wide USING FLEX FILAMENT. You can change length in the slicer if you like.
Filament used was Yoyi Blue Flex, not super flexy (95-98A Shore) but it prints nicely and is pretty cheap for a Flex.
Print Settings:
Nozzle .4mm
Line Width .4mm
Layer .25mm (Most people use .2mm, I replaced my Z Axis screws with a 1:1 ratio so I can print ANY exact height. For a standard Creality / Ender use .24mm layers)
Speed 70mm/s (I've a pretty dialed in machine, I suggest 30-35mm/s for most machines when using Flex filament). First Layer speed should be 20 or less.
2 Walls
0 Top
0 Bottom
100 % infill
For the Yoyi Flex:
Temp 215°C (if printing slower decrease to 205°C)
Bed Temp 70°C
Total Z should be 1-1.2mm.
Tip 1: I found it was stronger when placed on the bed ACROSS (along the X axis), so rotate it (them) to a left / right orientation. Long ways left to right like the photo.
Tip 2: Not everyone is aware that Cura (and others) can output a changed file.
If you open something you like, but want to change size, click the item & use the size controls (2nd on Left menu). If you UN-check Uniform Scaling you can change X,Y, and Z separately.
Once you have it modified, simply click the item and choose File -> Export Selection. You'll probably want to change the File Type from 3MF to STL (Binary), name the file and save.
Voila, you have a NEW STL with the changes baked in ;-)
Enjoy!
