BEADS!
Being the original currency, beads are an art form as old as time!
This project was inspired by the breakway models I've seen other artists make. It is functional, but the beads do take some force to break apart. That's why it's still Beta. I have five designs I have finalized, but I have a lot going on rn tbh so I'm releasing it like this to get community feedback and then make adjustments from there to release all of them!
Basically, each model has a 100 micron gap between it's upstairs and downstairs neighbors. This gap allows a break point in between each bead.
I am printing the model at 150 microns layer height, but it also prints well at 200. Basically I want to fill a build plate with this, about 500 grams worth of plastic, and spend all my almost empty spools.
In the Gcode I am relying on the filament runout sensor to catch when a spool finally runs out, but that may jam or be unreliable, so you may slice your own file with a new color every 20 grams or so, or however granular you think you need to go.
