This is a 3D-printable Yoshimura bloom pattern, specifically a Y-6.2 pattern (meaning it has six-fold symmetry and two rings extend out from the center). The membranes between the panels are designed to accommodate the folding process, and allow the model to rest in both the closed and the open states.

BYU also made a video discussing the details of these patterns and their potential in engineering mechanisms and beyond: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMV43l1nnoM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMV43l1nnoM)
### Printing Instructions
This model is best printed in PETG, or some other similarly flexible material (PLA also works fine). The model, at its current scaling, is intended to be printed with two 0.1mm layers as the base. This ensures that all folds have two overlapping layers of filament on which to bend (pr
