If you wound the tape onto a single spool, it would be 13 feet in
diameter and weigh about 700 lbs.
How do you calculate the diameter of the spool?

We have 5 axis files and 3D contouring files that regularly approach if not
exceed 100K lines. I don't know the maximum we have had but I am sure it
was more than 100K lines. This number of lines does not occur often but it
does happen once or twice a year.
I don't know the file size.

Slicer programs for 3D printing spit out astonishingly long files; the
biggest ones seem to be in the 10 to 15 MB range, with around half a

Nothing very complicated, but a whole pile of it...
