This figures include the EnvironmentalCabinet. (The EnvironmentalCabinet moderates the temperature of the extruded object,
and prevents foreign matter, i.e. dust and cat hair, from contaminating the feedstock filament and nozzle.)

Note: This data describes the characteristics of a solid block of material. An extruded object is a mass of self-adhered filament, and
may have voids, and may be more flexible or sheer more easily, in the same way that a coiled mass of wire is different from an ingot of metal.
