Description
While contemplating the Zippy model I printed, I thought it would be nice to be able to see the meshing and unmeshing of the zipper teeth, so I modified the original zipper slider to expose the merging action of the two zipper halves. This is just the modified zipper slider, see links to remix for the zipper links. Print instructions Download. Slice. Print. Repeat if necessary.
