About this model

This is a variation of the classic pin screen toy that prints in one piece. I would not have thought this was possible with consumer FDM printing until I got my Prusa Mk3. It is a long and challenging print but it's fun and an impressive demonstration (if it works!). There are three files: - round pins (small test) - Print this first to make sure things are working before printing the big guy. - round pins (big) - A big pin screen with round pins. - square pins (big) - The same thing, but with square pins.
