Hey all! Recently, I saw a post on /r/3Dprinting showcasing a wonderfully inventive technique from /u/CheesmondN where the 3D printer was able to print weaves in thin air without supports. The idea intrigued me greatly and so I tried to recreate it myself and am happy to say that I've found some workable solutions. This model is much simpler than /u/CheesmondN's model, mine has four simple posts, is 25 mm high, and is mostly a proof-of-concept with some information on what worked and what failed for me when trying to create this weaving effect. I found that the start and end of each weave behaved better when adding a perpendicular jutting edge instead of having the weave smoothly blend into the post: It's also important that the weaves are placed in intervals of whatever the layer height is. I have them 1mm apart since 0.2mm layers will fit into it well. If the placement intervals isn't easily divisible by the layer height, some of the weaves might be 2 layers tall, which is fine, but
