Comment on Shape optimized spoolholder
Honytawk@lemmy.zip 6 months agoThe thing with 3D printing is that it is usually stronger and uses less filament when you do a full shape without holes.
These shapes work well with conventional manufacturing, but 3D printing is different because it is mostly hollow on the inside

Less filament, yes. But it’s almost always weaker.
It’s common to add holes so you get a stronger part.
