All should be printed with some TPE (e.g. Ninja Flex), but the 9mm ones also can be printed with a hard plastic like PLA. The 5mm ones are meant to be bendable The 9mm ones are stackable The 7mm one is in-between The OpenSCAD files should include the same code and allow customizing in any way you like, e.g. see the parent project for example and also take into consideration new parameters we added.
