Engineer models and prints four origami structures in Fusion 360 on a Bambu Lab P1S, including a Kresling spring and waterbomb tessellation.
Key Takeaways
Four structures covered: hyperbolic paraboloid, satellite flasher, waterbomb tessellation, and Kresling spring, each with distinct mechanical properties.
Fold modeling references two papers: “Origami of thick panels” (Science) and “Functional, Durable, and Scalable Origami-Inspired Springs” (arXiv 2105.06769).
Kresling spring segment runs from 05:34 to 08:35, the longest section, suggesting it is the most mechanically complex build.
Toolchain is Fusion 360 for CAD, Bambu Lab P1S Combo for printing, DaVinci Resolve for video.
