    been using the tiamat ultra filament - the stuff with nano diamonds. And been making fidget cubes with print-in-place-hinges.
    So A LOT of retractions.
    Been using them to fine tune the retraction settings.
    I can now print a fidget cube with zero stringing and very clean hinges.

    The tiamat ultra is also very tactile and a little denser than standard pla.

    Based on this model: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1752508
    I have increased the gaps between surfaces by 0.2mm. As it stands, wothout modification, the thing just solidly welds itself together into a single lump. Not sure what tolearances the chap used, but it's got to be under 0.1mm.
    I also printed one at 75% size that also worked perfectly. None of them have needed any post processing.
    A quick wiggle to free the hinges and they're good to go :-)
    So I'm goiung to reduce the added gaps and see just how small I can make one :-)
