3D Printed Straw Sculptures

www.jix.us.com
This ingenious construction system, as simple as smart, is the work of Patrick Martinez.

JIX is a constructive system made of plastic joints connected with simple straws with which you can create any shape, form or geometry in the space! The connectors are made of a recycled bio plastic in the US and...ok...but 3d printing?

Well, Amanda Ghassaei has done a reverse engineering on this project making it available to all users on Instructables!

You can download a stl file of the joint and print it choosing from the numerous versions of it. Is not only a brutal copy but an improved and more flexible version of the same  constructive system.

Nice work, you both! =)
