Figure Lengend Snippet: 3D printed setup for the surrogate with 3D Honeycomb infill and densities ranging from 17 to 27% with blocks disposed at 0°,15°, 30°, and 45° ( a ), its transverse cross-section shown ( b ), and visualized perpendicularly to the printing axis ( c )
Article Snippet: The 3D printed surrogates were modeled in Autodesk Fusion 360 (Autodesk, San Francisco, CA) and printed using Polylactic Acid filament with tensile modulus of 2.3 GPa ± 0.1 and yield strength of 51 MPa ± 3 (Prusa filament, Beige, PLA) on a Prusa MK4 (Prusa Research, Prague, Czech Republic).
