Yes… Finally… The wait is over.

I feel I’d have to see it in action, on a use case, to understand its use.

I’m not cinical, but this is likely the 4th or 5th time someone has made a 3 sided zipper in my lifetime.

I’m sure people have said similar things about inventions in the past that now shape our everyday lives.

Hey, that’s pretty cool! I’d be super curious to see how other materials outside of pla (not particularly great for long term outdoor use) or tpu fare, especially with tools like metal printers becoming slightly more accessible.

Also, it might be worth cross posting to !3dprinting@lemmy.world, it’s always nice to see cool and bleeding edge use cases for the technology.

John Zip would be proud that his two dimensional coupler gained an extra dimension of utility today.

Have we come far, or gone too far?

At a glance, I thought they arranged the zippers to say “smile,” but no, it’s just random patterns.

Look, I don’t care how many sides it has as long as it doesn’t get stuck on everything.

This is fascinating. Sure wish they released the design tool so we could play with it.

Super cool

I mean, lik, at a certain point, this becomes about nothing less than reinventing the human bunghole
