Layer Separation Tester

I've been experimenting with interface patterns and how to force two 3D-printed layers to NOT stick, especially for print-in-place, functional parts, and easy support removal. This tool is designed to rigorously test combinations of surface micro-features, patterning, and z-clearance, making it easy to compare and tune the “grippiness” or separability of overlapping layers. Depending on the top/bottom patterns and precise Z-gap, the ease of breaking parts free (or how much they stick) can be dialed in for your application.As a disclimer all my personal tests have been made in PLA only. Keep that in mind when i recommend variables in this description as your mileage may varry.OverviewThis series of models is a systematic study of how modeling micro-features (0.2 mm default, adjustable) on the top and bottom surfaces of overlapping layers impacts their separation characteristics. The goal is to identify the best pattern combinations and Z-gap values for easy separation while maintain
