      Thank you so much, the idea is its supposed to be put down in a glass so that it keeps the ice down at the bottom so that when you drink your water it doesn't get in your face and stuff. I came up with this idea last year and now i need to get molding to get a prototype. I'm only 17 so I needed something simple and fun to make to hopefully get into entrepreneurship. I'll try and launch a kickstarter and see how that goes. I was definitely thinking about sending you one if it actually works and gets into production.

      I have 2 other designs that I want to do, so what were the problems that you ran into on mine and how can I avoid them on the future designs

      Again thank you so much for this, this really helps me out, I really had no clue what I was doing since this is my first design

          Do you mean there's a hole missing? Is your screen shot from my SketchUp file? What happened?

          You can copy the appropriate lines from a neighboring hex and then turn on Hidden Geometry so you can push the face through.

                  Here, try this one. There is a very tiny gap created by SU thinking to points are coincident. I merged those two points.
