Figure A demonstrates an example of a final print bed layout in PrusaSlicer 2.5.1. All components fit on a single print bed even when including an additional angled fixed block, an extension rod, and multiple screws which would not be necessary for many fracture patterns. The green areas in the windows of the cylinders and thread windows are the only scaffolding that needs to be removed in post-processing. Figure B demonstrates that scaffolding in the honeycomb cylinder was painted in each window to facilitate hemostat or clamp access for easy removal
