This design is simple yet strong, eliminating the need for complex mechanisms like hinge pins and shapes that could lead to printing failure. Instructions are not required as its assembly is straightforward; snap it together and forget about it. The print design allows for quick setup, printing, and use. It was intentionally designed with minimal material, focusing on durability. Printed without top or bottom layers, it uses 15% fill, tested with both hexagonal and rectilinear patterns. With its low profile, parts can be linked together to recreate a full track system if needed, making it a "fire and forget" printing scenario – no monitoring required on or off a space station.
