Yeah, lots of what passes for autism these days.

Also; blender is a multitool, it's not only for modeling. Very handy for all sorts of stuff.

"Miscellaneous metallic polymers designed not to melt while being extruded seem to clog smaller nozzles."
Yes. Mhmm.

the catch with hex like this is it helps if you can define the size of the hex gap relative to its printed perimeter. You probably don't need to, but if you do you may need an autist-tier slicer to control that. Or figure out how to actually model it.
When I print fan protectors I often notice some combinations of gap/perimeter just doesnt work with hex arrays. So typically i design a small sample that does print and hold together under use, and then array it... then boolean that array into the desired shape, then boolean that into the thing you are cutting them into.
