DESIGN from

sketch & scratch 

selflex carabiner design prototype

Full function printable carabiner concept
selflex - the core Ideal is nonmetallic and spring feel strenth design, easy to assembly and fit in difference use.
First use the core at carabiner design.
Potentially to creat a carabiner can be customized, lightweight, load heavy, and water resist.
It will be a printable carabiner design.
In general, design come with only 2 parts, hook and door, very easy to assembly and easy to make different scale for your need.
For realize the idea, the process include thinking, sketching, 3D modeling, 3D printing, and countless of improvement, until everything of the design is fine, then start to test on different 3d printer in different country, and make improvement again, until all run out good result.
