Print Bed Pattern

thingiverse

I was experimenting with decorating my Interlocking Wall Blocks. Specifically, I was looking at this thing on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4209868. As it turns out, I came up with a straightforward solution: design a shape - say a rectangle that matches your print bed's dimensions - with one or two layers high; use your slicing software to choose the desired pattern and filling ratio; disable top and bottom layers (so zero for both); sidewalls are optional but add some rigidity, which I included, though they might not be necessary. This approach uses minimal filament, and the results are visually striking.
