This prototype is 16mm wide and just over 20cm long with 6 segments total.

It has an average overlap of 20% which ends up giving about 100cm expanded.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are curious keep an eye here for the release of test #2 coming.

  • 33 segments, 86mm wide.
  • Overlap reduced slightly to ~10-15%
  • Expected to stretch over 5m
  • 40+ hour print time

These tests will determine if this method can mathematically beat the record.
