mum wall thickness of >1.0mm but I'm not sure about aluminium sintering. We have an Objet 3d printer at work that jets plastic media and we try to keep above 1mm wall thickness on that. It will print much thinner but it gets very hard to remove the support material without damaging the part.
You could create a tag attached by a thin section that protrudes from a discreet position on the inside of a corner piece? This could easily be removed during assembly.
Chris: looks like another good project! I'm currently trying to design moulds for all my corner pieces since there are 6 different corner pieces on my geodesic dome, 3 of which are split in half for ease of assembly, making 9 moulds! 3D printing was a bit out of my budget!…

oints to have a maximum of 4 links. Even if I limit the group number to 3, I will still have some points that have four our five connection points.
I think I understand why some points have more that 3 links (even though the group number is set to 3), but I can't figure out how to limit this number to a maximum of 4 links.
Furthermore- the next step I am working out is to create a link at each of the points like the one shown in the attached picture. Any additional advice for how to achieve this would also be very helpful.
Thanks for your help!

there is a gap there, so the pipes will not connect unless you make them larger and put rounded ends on them.
3. Most any 3D printer will have problems printing something as long and thin as your pipes are.
4. Attached is a screenshot of a section of you pipes (with flat ends to make them closed surfaces) after slicing with the Slic3r program. Except for that one outside corner, everything is connected. I'd suggest you try again with a layer height of 0.200 mm (or smaller) and a printer nozzle of 0.400 mm diameter (or smaller).
5. If you click on the Internalize option for the Crv component you will not need the Rhino file any longer - doing that loads the Rhino geometry into your GH file directly and saves it there.
6. Your pipes will need a lot of supports for 3D printing - but you already know that. Removing the support material from something that flimsy will be quite difficult. You would have better luck if you had a way to print them using a resin based printer - but these usually have smaller print volumes and are expensive.…

Heylo Grasshoppers: just curious, what are some ways you have created a 3 dimension vector field, with breps as 'obstacles' to simulate wind paths through an object or geometry?
Thanks in advance.
Hello Mohamed,
Thank you for this wonderful plug-in. I like that in Mantis fractals we have 2 branches instead of 3. However, is there any way we can make it 3D Fractal?
cheers

Im open to other suggestions as well. My budget is probably a max of $1,300 and I am definitely looking at a laptop and not interested in desktop as I am often traveling. Any input greatly appreciated.
