His work is absolutely jaw-dropping.
Love his design aesthetic. -
The car designer Hero!

Believe or not Thomthom, they do. They've gotten very draconian around here since I was away.
Much rather be over there. -
Pubs close?

Yes Rich, Pubs do close, but the Irish can't comprehend such a thing and simply believe the little people carried them home when the time was right. That those same little people tend to bang their heads on bedroom door frames, cleaned out their wallets and have been known to do unspeakable things in their mouths is a small price to pay for the craic.
P.S. I added the proxy above if anyone wants it.

Will you 3D print the result?
-
I can do if people would be interested in seeing the result.
-
I am.
-
Me three!
-
Count me in

I bet that the sum of two opposite sides wiil be seven!

Ok, set it to print, but it will take a few hours and I only have Black at the moment.
Here it is starting, positioned along one edge for support reasons.
I'll try and catch a photo when it is about half way so you can understand the support structure, but I have to go out so may miss it.

Well here you go, quick prepub post.
Here it is about half way, you can see how the support structure is inter-meshed with it. This particular printer, an Up Mini, doesn't allow you to turn off support fully, although you can reduce it. The supports are very delicate and quite easy to remove. But it's best to position your piece to get the least possible, or in this case the most suitable.
If I had set it square on it would have created a lot more support to fill the cube, it would have been better set on iy's point, but the tiny footprint would most likely have caused a print failure, as the connection to the 'raft' is remarkably tenuous.
And here is the finished print, just waiting to be broken out of it's supports. You can see the individual layers of filament, these can be smoothed off with a bit of a light sand.
Mind you this shape will be impossible to smooth perfectly as it's near impossible to get inside. Before you ask, it is a 50mm cube. and it took ~2.5 hours to print.
I'll try and clean it up and post a finished pic soon.

Rather than using sandpaper you could scramble it with sand in a box(not tested though - the plastic might snap :/)
