Since people wanted to see how it turned out. This is a 330x330 object that covers the entire purported print area of my machine.

I’m ashamed to admit that I undershot my filament usage calculation slightly, and I chickened out just before the finish line. I didn’t have any more white in stock, so I switched to some grey of the same type from the same manufacturer by doing a mid-air refuel, shoving the end of the new spool in chasing behind the very tail of the old one. I don’t think it looks too bad. I may just spraypaint the entire thing white later anyhow. I wanted to use a light color in order to more easily spot and keep track of screws and springs and such.

    This always trips me up. Would the correct way of writing: a cube 256mm to an edge

    256³mm³? That feels inelegant.

    Do the math myself so 1.67*10⁶mm³? Which seems like I’m asking the reader to simplify what I complicated.

    Or 256mm³? That seems true to speech it’s a 256mm cube…
