Crazy fast and light modular "flamingo legs" stringing tower
Description
This is my take on a "stringing tower" for testing different settings (retraction distance and speed, possibly more like coasting...). I wanted something even easier, faster and lighter than what I had found so far, so I designed this simple modular twin tower (which looks like flamingo legs, also 'cause I was on a pink filament! :-D ). The goal is to pile up as many sections as needed, configure the setting changes based on height and have clear results crazily fast and with nearly no material. The small fatter part on top of a section marks the end of it so one can identify the next section clearly. As an example, I just tested retraction speed on a PLA filament (at 6mm distance) on 5 sections—10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mm/s. It only took 17 min total and used only 0.19m (19cm) of filament—about a gram. It is designed to have just one wall/perimeter, zero infill and zero top/bottom, so it is just a thin tube. Brims are needed... And you need to check your stringing results **when the model is still on the bed!** (Unless you remix it with a stand so that you can keep it in one piece after the test.)
