Okay, I hollowed out the Lock-Blocks. 0.31mm walls. And a 2.0mm hole in the bottom. The volume went from .013 c.i. down to .004 c.i. So that's almost 70% less material. Significant, for sure.Now, does anybody know what the max build size is at Shapeways? I can get 50 of them (5 rows of 10) in about 2-1/2 x 3-1/2".
Or... you could buy an existing commercial product, or.... you could easily make them out of strip styrene...
@wcfn100 I have found that multi models count for min size.
@peteski My generator walls are 0.31 thick and show no signs of delicacy or warpage.
@GimpLizard. I was going to add earlier that you may want to consider making the bottom pockets a little larger than the top locators so that there will never be a gap between the blocks wnen stacked.
Nope, I think that is nothing but a min opening for fluid to escape. Opening the bottom crosses makes sense and will save some material.
