Print Males in flexible filament. (Disclaimer: No sexism inferred ;-) Print Females in rigid filament. (Disclaimer: No sexism inferred ;-) Males were generated with the following params : type = "male" diameter_of_connection = 4 pitch_circle_diameter = 15 limb_height = 2 limb_thickness = 2 Females were generated with the following params : type = "female" diameter_of_connection = 4 pitch_circle_diameter = 40 limb_height = 2 limb_thickness = 3
