Hi all,

I received my scoubidou.
The structure is basically the same as an actual scoubidou except the cleareance between the 2 mm wires that is 1 mm in all directions. So it is quite loose, which make it very flexible.
See the pictures below and the video here.


It is quite unexpensive of an object of this dimension (less than $25).

Do you think I should do other dimensions or shapes?
Thanks,

Magic

Ahaha! I am also wondering (but not all objects need to be useful, do they?).

As I say in the video, just use it as a regular scoubidou! Original scoubidous were used as keyring (this one is probably too big) or to recognize your luggages.
See this website for inspiration (see "scoubidou projects").

For me it is also a way to test the elasticity of Strong and Flexible: the same pattern can be used to make a kind of fabric, if you interlocked the basic pattern so that the section is nearly flat (instead of squared).

Hi,

Thank you all for your suggestions. I will think now about the next steps.
In the meantime, I wanted to show you my collection of Scoubidous:

And also this ball-shaped one, that inspired me for my IcosidodecaLink:

Note that each loop is closed by a nearly seamless join (see the close-up) as suggested by Lukas.
