We were too idealistic with the print, and it came out with too many gaps such that it wouldnt hold the pipes tightly. We were then stuck with either adding amendments, or redo the entire print.
it felt like a waste, especially having troubled Tony and the team to power up the large printer for us. But Tony kindly said otherwise, that it was a learning experience! #positivethinking
and so with that we got to work on a new design
but first, a quick test of the various dimensions that could fit — something we didn’t want to do initially, but realized the importance of doing so. We thought this step could be omitted because its a waste of materials, and takes time in itself to print — but we learnt the hard way that there is greater wastage when the dimensions are imprecise…
