Make your windows stick out with this decorative 3D printing project! In this post, we'll ‎teach you how to make window clings with a 3D printer!

‎Recently, Barbara from 3DPrintNY.com has been showcasing her flexible 3D printed ‎window decorations on her Instagram and Twitter feeds. These objects easily cling to ‎glass and are printed with NinjaFlex® by NinjaTek on a LulzBot Mini equipped with ‎the LulzBot Mini Flexystruder Tool Head. This is a great technique for creating custom ‎commercial window displays or as a project to introduce kids to the possibilities of 3D ‎printing with flexible materials.‎

Start your window cling design in your favorite Free Software 3D modeling program ‎like Blender, FreeCAD, or SolveSpace.‎

Once printed, peel it off the print surface and wash the bottom to remove any PVA-‎based glue stick residue. A clean window will provide the best adhesion. Wet your ‎window cling with water and place on the window in the desired location. That's it!‎

Tips

Treat your design like a stencil-- make sure that every object within the design ‎touches the rest of the model so the final object prints in one intact piece.‎

Alternatively, anything not touching the rest of the model will still be printed but ‎can be moved around and selectively placed when sticking to the window or glass.‎

Design your window cling with a thickness of 1 - 2 mm for quick print times and ‎ideal window adhesion.‎

Advanced users can activate the Pause At Z plugin in Cura LulzBot Edition. More ‎information can be found in the LulzBot TAZ or LulzBot Mini User Manual.‎

Pick up some Flexible NinjaFlex filament and either the LulzBot TAZ Flexystruder Tool ‎Head or the LulzBot Mini Flexystruder Tool Head.‎
