0 of 512 sampled inward chords fell below the 1.6 mm screening assumption.
These are sampled local rays, not minimum wall dimensions or a printable/not-printable verdict.
Inside the print lab · digital development
A miniature should keep its character. A keychain should make room for the ring that carries it. Here is the real work between a drawing and a future filament collectible.
This studio pass
Both keychain openings now measure approximately 5 × 5 mm at the central section.
Geometry screening
Earlier pass: two minis and two keychains, with 512 surface samples per model. The new beetle pass is below.
Physical samples
These are digital prototypes. Slicing, strength, likeness and real print samples remain pending.

A little companion, carefully prepared
The joining neck has been shortened below the loop. The sampled central opening changed from 4.9 × 2.0 mm to 5.0 × 5.0 mm, leaving room for a key ring.
The top of the loop retains approximately 3.0 mm of material at this section. Pull strength and handling still need a physical test.
Fine surface features remain under review: 52 mini samples and 111 keychain samples fell below our candidate feature targets. These samples locate areas to inspect; they do not certify a minimum wall.

What the geometry tells us
Rose-colored dots mark low inward surface chords. They help us choose areas for inspection and refinement.

The mini footprints measure approximately 25 mm across. Our starting profile assumes a 0.4 mm nozzle and PLA; the installed nozzle and loaded material still need confirmation. The sampled feature targets are 1.6 mm for minis and 2.4 mm for keychains.
A sampled inward chord is a screening measurement. It can miss thin features and self intersections, and a grazing chord can be shorter than the usable wall. Closed geometry and a clear ring opening do not establish print quality or strength.
The next work is local feature refinement, slicer layer and support review, followed by supervised filament samples. Game rigs and high-detail likeness remain separate work.

The beetle · read-only geometry notebook
The RTX 3090 checked 512 inward surface chords on each actual display, keychain and miniature file. Independent CPU rays matched; all three meshes stayed byte-for-byte unchanged.
0 of 512 sampled inward chords fell below the 1.6 mm screening assumption.
These are sampled local rays, not minimum wall dimensions or a printable/not-printable verdict.
258 of 512 sampled inward chords fell below the 2.4 mm screening assumption.
These are sampled local rays, not minimum wall dimensions or a printable/not-printable verdict.
217 of 512 sampled inward chords fell below the 1.6 mm screening assumption.
These are sampled local rays, not minimum wall dimensions or a printable/not-printable verdict.

The keychain and miniature have many flagged samples. Fine limbs, antennae, surface ridges and attachment junctions need targeted inspection and refinement. Grazing rays can produce tiny chords; one small number alone does not establish a failed wall. The display's unflagged samples do not certify every feature.
Thresholds of 1.6 mm for display/mini and 2.4 mm for keychain are editable screening assumptions. Actual printer, nozzle, material, sliced layers, supports, strength, artist likeness and supervised physical samples remain pending.

These marks sit on a continuous backing. The colored regions concern fine decorative detail; they do not measure the backing’s load-bearing strength. The smaller token has more areas that need review at a two-width target.
The widths are planning assumptions, not measured nozzle diameters or recommended printer settings. A fitted disk is a geometry check, not a generated slicer path. Gap-closing colors indicate where separation needs inspection; they do not predict actual filament spread.
Four sections come from the actual exported STL files. Screens at 0.05 and 0.025 mm grids matched the CPU in every mask comparison. These plots use the finer grid. Percentages count raised-ink raster cells outside fitted disks; they are not failure probabilities or certified minimum walls.
Small rounded corners and discrete grids affect the result. The full report retains both resolutions, their differences and all 60 calibration/actual-mask comparisons. Artist likeness, real extrusion settings, sliced layers, line/gap appearance, ring and neck stress, material behavior and supervised physical samples still need review.
