Those were pictures of the early prototype, the final version has the ridge lines, although to be fair they do need adjusting to be made a little bigger as currently they are too small.

Ok, having had that print failure I've made some adjustments and modifications to my Ender 3 and of course wanted a test print.  But while doing it and browsing "Thingiverse" I found this model, it is basically a hexagon frame that someone has designed for displaying Lego Mini-Figures in, but the wrinkle is that they are connectable so you can make a display any shape you wish.  As this needed to be printed acurately to allow the hex's to connect properly it seemed an ideal test.  But having printed 4 of them as a test I'm so impressed I intend to print more, I just thought I would share with you to see what you think;

Looks like a neat puzzle/building block type thing for children.

Thats pretty cool Nigels. Does the Pump-topus have articulated tentacles?

Indeed he does and it is all printed in one piece fully articulated, I scaled the original up to 200% to allow me to put a battery tea light inside the head Smile

I remember someone wanted an adaptor to go from Blue Tracks to the Trackmaster tracks.

Well seems someone has made one; Tomy/Trackmaster Adaptor
