Hey, that's pretty cool! This might be worth cross posting to !3dprinting@lemmy.world, I didn't see a link to the software they're using to set up pathing and generate models, but I'd be super curious to see how other materials outside of pla (not particularly great for long term outdoor use) or tpu fare, especially with tools like metal printers becoming slightly more accessible.
