That’s a good question, it is actually fits like a snug bug in the Rug , There is plenty of space below the board, and it is held in place by small side posts,
Sorry I meant 5mm for the holes on the top of the lid. Regarding the screw holes something like M2 will work fine for this. Sorry for the confusion. Starting to look very good though.
Only just been able to reply since I’m a new member of the forum.
Ok no problem, I just wanted you to show the size comparison, let me export the files, @AlexBudd you want the Honeycomb top with the M2 screws right ?, anything else I shall modify it now
Smaller honeycomb with 5mm holes if possible. And yeah M2 for the screws and the pillars not too big if possible.
I’ll get it printed over the weekend and show the results
@AlexBudd Here is the modified model as you asked with smaller 5mm holes,
I made the screw holes for M2 and has 2mm around it to hold the the screws without breaking, (this is problem associated with 3D print, which have tendency to crack from the sides if the screws are big, or excess stress is applied)
this allows the covers on the smaller ports (except ethernet) to be easily removed after support material is added, if not the support material would have covered the entire place and I am not sure if that would provide enough support if support material is not added (depend on you slicer software)
Also the bigger screw mounts allow for things like threaded inserts to be added to give the screw that extra grip.
Its is a very widely used abstract design that feels natural as well, That’s why I want to promote it, also it is structurally very strong, Take graphene for example
Sure, first thing to do once I get a quality 3D printer, These things are not really easy to print though, take a lot of time for those intricate Hexagons
Infact, I want someone to try these things out for me, still waiting for someone to do that humble Act
Nah, that looks more like a tube, weird design, my brother works in Nvidia, in chip design,
when I asked him about it, he said the design team of that went bonkers, not adhering to any proper design choice, basically they for boxes as case, and the size of a Tv stick, I think that covers it up
