[FlexMesh 1.0](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:423183) is fun. Now let's take it to the next level. Though the basic geometry remains the same, pins have been swapped out in favor of nubs. Objects connected via nubs are much easier to construct and experiment with. Now our FlexMesh creations are more durable and allow for almost limitless configurability of colors and geometries. FlexMesh 2 demonstrates how to work through even more of [the challenges of today's low-cost 3D printing technology](http://tinkerteacher.blogspot.com/2014/04/todays-biggest-3d-printing-challenges.html)...

* We can use multiple spot colors in our 3D creations.

* We can quickly and easily explore topologies and geometries.

* We can snap together a shape then take it apart and reuse parts over and over again.

* We can expand the repertoire of FlexMesh-compatible shapes to explore, build and play with.

FlexMesh 2.1 is here. The [downloads](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:442571/#files) section now includes 5 & 6 sided shapes and a more rounded family of 5 new shapes. Read the [release notes](http://tinkerteacher.blogspot.com/2014/11/release-notes-flexmesh-21-snap-together.html) for full details.

[TriSphere](http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1007473) is another flexible mesh pattern worth exploring.
