Well this is certainly neat…
Out of curiosity, I’m printing one in PLA.

I will be very curious to see how it comes out!!
It should be ready around 11AM.

Exciting! Is there a connector or anything to join two end to end (if you don’t have an infinite print bed)?
Well, it’s definitely one of the ugliest prints I’ve had in a a while, but then again, I don’t usually do things that are all that geometrically complex.There’s a fair amount of stringing on the inside and getting the supports out of the bolt holes in the ends was fun.
I had thought the printer would do better with bridging. I had run a “How far can you bridge?” test a few months ago, albeit with a different filament, and got some surprising results (150mm without appreciable sagging) but it seems to me I had bridging enabled in Cura and I forgot to set it this time.
It is remarkably stiff (or I’m remarkably weak), so now I want to find a bunch of bricks and see what it can hold.

I’d be interested to see not only how much it can hold horizontally but also how much load it can handle vertically. Seems like it should be a lot…
