The Union Jack,
printed in layers.

The flag built as a stack of three thin sheets, each one printed in a single colour with the shape of the next cut through it — so the picture has real depth you can run a finger over. Drawn to the official 3:5 construction, in a reeded moulded frame on its own weighted stand. 252 × 164 mm finished.

No supports on any part
No AMS, no filament changes
No glue, no screws

The flag

Three saints, two unions, and one very easy mistake

The flag is three crosses laid on top of one another. St George’s red cross for England and St Andrew’s white saltire for Scotland were put together by royal decree in April 1606, when one king came to hold both crowns. St Patrick’s red saltire was added on 1 January 1801, the day the union with Ireland took effect — and that second version is the flag we still fly.

Look closely at the diagonals and you will see the red is not centred on the white. It is offset, and the offset swaps sides across the middle of the flag, so that neither Scotland’s cross nor Ireland’s sits squarely on top of the other. That small pinwheel is the whole reason the Union Jack has a right way up: the broad white diagonal belongs uppermost on the side nearest the flagpole. Get it wrong and turning the flag round will not save you — rotating it gives you the same wrong flag again. You would have to turn it over.

This one is cut to the official construction — six units for the cross, two for the white fimbriation either side, and a diagonal of white-red-white in three, two and one — and the sheets only stack one way round, so it comes out the right way up every time.

Designed and test-printed in Swansea.


Any printer, any nozzle

Three sheets.
Three colours.
Zero filament changes.

Each colour is its own flat sheet, so you print each one when that filament happens to be loaded — no multi-material printer, no swaps mid-print, no purge waste. Stack them into the base board in order, press the frame on, done. Nothing needs supports, nothing needs a brim, nothing needs glue.

Because each sheet reveals the one below it, the finished picture has genuine physical depth — the white fimbriation stands proud of the blue field, and the red sits above them both. And because the saltire runs corner to corner, every sheet comes off the plate in one piece. Nothing loose, nothing to fish out of the bin.
