how much weight can that thing hold? I wonder if you could make a decent end table for supporting a reading lamp, or something. Maybe print the base as solid and flip it upside down?
either way, I find that to be impressive!
I tried putting a 1kg box on the 240mm tower, and it buckled. So the limit is a bit less than that.
My goal was "just barely printable", so you could install OpenSCAD and increase the
thickness = 1.2value to support more weight.
"how many retractions?"
"all of them"
That looks like the mother of all torture tests. Good on your printer for printing it at all!
Yikes just looking at that!
My extruder would have ground that filament down to dust with amount of back and forth that must have been necessary.
