The G-code was stored on a SD card and printed on an Ultimaker kit-based   FDM 3D printer. A small patch of aluminum foil was lightly abraded with   fine-grit sandpaper to improve surface ashesion properties, and flamed   over a Bunsen burner until signs of melting appeard. The foil patch was   then affixed to the build platform, so that the build area indicated in   the G-code toolpath would be entirely within the untouched center of the   patch. The G-code toolpath was also examined to insure that the nozzle   would contact no surface except the build are on the foil. Printing was   then initiated with a feed rate was 50 mm/sec at $220\,^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.
