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.
