Wow, the detail on that dog that you printed is amazing.

Sorry, but I have to point this out. The article stated the treasure chest was 400% larger, but that is incorrect. It is 400% larger in each spatial dimension. This means that overall, it is an astounding 64 times (4x4x4) larger or 6400% the volume of the original! Sounds much more impressive if you put it that way.

No. I printed it at 400% in the slicer, as opposed to a 100% model. You'll have to take the math up with the OrcaSlicer people.

I appreciate that you are reporting accurately what the OrcaSlicer people are stating. I should have started by pointing out that your article was both entertaining and informative. Unfortunately, the slicer software is misleading at best and flat wrong at worst. Simply put, a cube that has its length doubled in each dimension will have 8 times the volume. A cube that has its length increased by 4x in each dimension will have 64 times the volume. This is an important calculation to keep in mind because this print required far more than 400% more filament, which to your credit you clearly warned about. Given that it is a simple calculation, improved software could easily let users know the increased percentage of material they will need. The actual percentage of additional material required would vary depending on the density of the fill, waste material to support the printing in progress, etc., but all that could be calculated.
