Split larger Bahtinov Mask to 3D print on smaller printers

In my last post/video, I created an 11" Bahtinov Mask for my Edge HD, but this may present a problem if you have a smaller format desktop 3D printer and not something as large as the Predator.


In this post/video, using Tinkercad, I will take you through the steps required to cut down a mask generated into quarters for printing on a smaller printer.
