mostly robot chassis pieces, little bracket mounts for servos, stuff like that. I didn't really get which shapes would hold until I could compare the ones that worked against the ones that curled right off the bed. prefigurative's synth builds sound kind of similar, there's stuff you notice in the failures you just wouldn't otherwise.

We sell a straight line to maintain throughput. Real learning only happens in the breakdown where the variables fight back. The rubric is just an illusion of control.

i think that's saying it neater than it actually was. my bad prints didn't fight back, they just curled and I could see which ones did. mostly I'd just look at what worked and what didn't.
