-and I adapted it slightly to experiment with a new design. The change I made to the original design was to mirror the design on top of itself - to create 2 layers of the weave structure.

The change I made to the original design was to mirror the design on top of itself - to create 2 layers of the weave structure. Printing this double structure with flexible filament, I was interested to see the results, how it would feel and what it would be like when pressed together.
  
 I used the same settings in Cura as the previous print on fabric, however I encountered problems with the print. The first layers of the material were not sticking to the bed. I increased the temperature of the bed and also put down some sticky tape to help the layers stick better. The print improved, however, I still had problems. A colleague helped me with this problem by re-calibrating the height of the bedplate so that the nozzle would be closer to the bedplate. This solved the problem and the weave structure was printed successfully. I used the same settings in Cura as the previous print on fabric, however I encountered problems with the print.
