Will be interested in what your setting are to pron it, Cura will not even generate g-code I imagine the walls are to close together, may have to size it up.

I hope embedding this video works! Shows my printer at 60 mm/s printing the mesostructure. Very cool to watch.

That's awesome! I'm really interested in things like this to create larger sculptural forms. Great find Micheal!

Excellent - take photos!

Hey, you may be interested in this - John Betts and my new book Fly Lines - how to make them is done, at the printer and will ship the first week of May. I am taking pre-orders for it now and it is selling quickly. If you have any interest in making your own line to go on that reel check it out!

With all the stuff you make, all the books you have written, about the only thing left is Fish - How To Eat Them! :)

I like it! I bet it would be very popular. I might think about that one.

If you were to print about 80 of them, you could use them for those crazy beaded automotive seat covers.
