Tools

This is the Tools series of individual models. These models are found through folding each letter of the alphabet against itself. The models thus formed are the things that define each letter as used in word definitions. The new 3rd side are the 'crop' tiles of 2d shapes which form the 3d 'Pipes' and ultimately the 3d 'Flowers' series of models.

Designer Notes

Use your slicing software to orient parts in 3d space and on the printer bed as needed.

The various dots should be split off into their own prints. Dots are normally not printed with support material. They risk being filled with support material and becoming useless after the print.

Use part numbers to track printing process.

Most parts should be at high infill, say 80 percent. Bases should be at least 25 percent infill. Higher infill will increase the strength of the legs in the bases.

Use 15 lb monofilament line with very small drops of super glue to anchor and support the various dots.
