I just thought I'd post it for comment before I send it off for printing in WSF. All separations are at least .5mm ... anything very close will be .5mm, like when a bar goes through a hole, or the closest distance between gears, for example. For scale reference, the whole piece is about 13.5 cm tall.



I'd be interested in what you think

And this model is another of those!

Something I found out with various chainmaille attempts in WSF is that depending on the surrounding geometry, predominantly wire thickness, is that the gap can be as small as 0.2mm without parts totally fusing. Some fusing happens, but with a wiggle or ten everything frees up ok.

When your Automatterfly works out, be sure to advertise it as Steampunk (because it totally is)

That's good info about WSF tolerances having some flexibility. I might have to redesign if my test print is too loose.

Since I have you here I thought I should let you know, in case you don't already, Nuvera suffered a pretty hard crash and you may have to go through your stuff to make sure it survived. It sucks too because things were really starting to pick up over there. :/

Cheers!
