\subsection{Independent reproduction of growth experiment on printed component}  \label{sec:indpendent_rep}  The above experiment using printed components was replicated at Michigan State University. We used a similar kit-built Ultimaker 3D printer modified with an E3D all metal print head with a 0.4mm nozzle \cite{http://e3d-online.com/}. A cylindar was designed using OpenSCAD with a radius of 4mm and a height of 12mm. The model was exported to an STL object and sliced with Cura SteamEngine 13.12. The cylinder was printed with a wall thickness of 0.4mm, a feed-rate of 10mm/second (the effective speed with the minumum layer cooling time set to 5 seconds), and a nozzle temperature of $225^{\circ}C$. The printbed was prepared with 3M Scotch Blue painters tape and was lightly wiped with ethanol before printing began.
