The Audacity of Dreams Meets Digital Art

Offer much more than a simple envelope: offer an enchanting metaphor of love, where the boldness of stripes intertwines with the silky softness of tulle. A universal symbol of freedom, contrast, and uniqueness, the zebra transforms every piece of mail into a declaration of originality and mystery.

Perfect for celebrating moments when one dares to be oneself, this envelope combines the graphic elegance of natural stripes with the precision of 3D printing.

Because love, like a zebra's stripes, moves where opposites meet… and where each line tells a story of duality, passion, and independence. 🌹

🧵 Recommended filament: PLA for a rigid structure and sharp details / TPU for a flexible and pliable envelope.

🪄 Print support: A plate with star patterns adds a touch of sparkle ✨

🔧 Optimal settings: Speed: 40-50 mm/s to preserve the fineness of the patterns.

                            Temperature: 200-220°C for PLA, 220-240°C for TPU.

🧶 Adding tulle after the first layer:

Pause: Each model I post normally comes with a pause after the first layer to install the tulle with magnets. However, I recommend you to check that it applies to you to avoid a failed print.

📌 Tulles required:

You can find help here to know what type of Tulle is best to use.

• Rigidity: ☐ Rigid (The model requires rigid tulle support) / ✅ Flexible (Design stands well on its own)
• Mesh: ✅ Large holes (Design with few fine details) /☐ Tight weave (many small details will not be printed on large-hole tulle)

Pro tip: For a delicate and refined effect, opt for soft, fine tulle or organza. Tightly woven tulle with very small holes will prevent the loss of details that might otherwise print next to the fabric fiber.

🔨 Assembly:

• Each model has holes on the top and bottom flaps for threading a ribbon or cord.
• Pierce the tulle in these holes to facilitate the insertion of the chosen fastener.
