Stud.io Flex Tube Tutorial (using Mecabricks)

The flex feature is ok for some stuff, but when you need your tubes, strings, etc. to bend in a specific way, it can be maddeningly bad!

This is my technique for bending flexible pieces. I prefer to use Mechabricks, which is free, browser-based, and pretty user-friendly once you get used to the slightly different interface.

Thank you for showing this! I can finally add rubber bands to Studio models!

Thank you, that was really useful. Gonna use this for elastic bands. I haven't got my head around ldraw yet, it's interface is so horrible to look at

one question: how to make a hose, flexible with 8mm stay flexible?

Does this work for custom parts I created with a print in mecabricks? I can’t get the part into studio I created. The decal doesn’t work in parts designer unless I use one of those very basic bricks. I’m trying to create something on a wedge curved slope.
