Zebra Skin Flex Orb

The Zebra Skin Flex Orb is a fun, hands-on creation that turns flat strips of plastic into a solid, three-dimensional sphere through an easy folding process, inspired by origami. It's a simple design that surprises with its strength and intricate look. This design features a zebra skin pattern. Blending traditional origami concepts with modern 3D printing, the Flex Orb is more than just a piece of art—it's an interactive experience. When I first designed it, I was amazed by how such a straightforward folding technique could transform flat plastic into a strong, detailed sphere. That final fold is when the magic really happens, bringing the shape to life. Here's a video instruction to guide you through folding in the arcs to achieve the perfect form.
