Description
This is a perl script, generating gcode for monolith shaped test objects.
I used this objects to measure the rigidity and strength of objects, printed in different orientations.
The script is also capable of generating a new, experimental type of "interlocking" infill ("Mode 2").

Very nice work. The video was entertaining as well!! The suspense of seeing a part that is about to break, and then witnessing it in a slow-mo replay :)
Apart from entertaining, this benchmarking and trying different infill strategies is important work! Perhaps, less dense strategies are interesting too, using a minimum amount of material to carry a maximum load. I'd say it would be interesting to hold 3D printed bridge building contests :)
