algorithmic modeling for Rhino
Comment
cool!!! thanks
You can vapor-smooth PLA using a different chemical. It is called THF and is rather nastier than acetone.

Oh thanks for your suggestion!
I did tried in some other model acetone to smooth it out, but it needs to be printed in ABS instead of PLA
That came out better than I expected. And it would be a good candidate for vapor bath finishing. I have not tried that yet but I have seen some very good results. THis part would be an excellent candidate for that.
That is a fascinating piece - but how to manufacture it? Injection molding would probably work. It would be a real challenge for a 3D printer because of the many horizontal (or nearly so) unsupported areas. Is there a way to make the hole shapes less horizontal - perhaps with a slightly more rounded opening shape?
