#hardware #3dprinting
Spaghetti, amputated arms, and a lesson in engineering scope.
Engineering challenges
- Shaping the arms for the cards to sit just right for reliable removal and storage
- Diagnosing print failures caused potentially by wood PLA material and sharp geometry on overhangs
- Finding an orientation and base angle that minimizes supports and considers print quality on a branchy shape and shallow slope step size
