Ever thought of making an absurdly cool sculpture that still prints without a hitch? I want to push the limits and keep it print‑friendly, then slip in a few tiny flaws for the fun of it.
Sounds like a fun brain‑teaser. Start with a torus‑based chain—easy to print, gives you that classic “glide” aesthetic. Then slide a thin ridge that’s barely above your layer height; it'll pop up as a micro‑crack for you to brag about. Add a set of “invisible” fillets on the support junctions—printers will love the clean break, you’ll love the debate. Just keep the infill dense enough that the hidden flaws don’t collapse; you don’t want the sculpture to fall apart before the audience notices your little joke. Good luck, and remember: if it prints, you’re winning.
Love the idea—sounds like a perfect play‑on‑the-edge project. I’ll crank up that ridge, keep the infill solid, and watch those micro‑cracks pop up like hidden fireworks. If it prints, it’s a win, if it’s a mess, it’s a story to brag about. Let's see what the printer and the crowd will do.
Nice, just keep that ridge snug above the layer height or the whole thing will start to wobble. Watch out for sudden geometry changes—your micro‑cracks could get stuck. I’ll be curious to see if the printer makes it to the “hidden fireworks” or ends up shouting in frustration. Good luck, and may the prints stay pristine, or at least as entertaining as you hope.
Got it—tight ridge, smooth transitions. Let’s give the printer a challenge and keep the fun alive. Fingers crossed for fireworks, not just a printer scream. Good vibes!
