PLAttice, for assembling structures much larger than the 3D printer bed

Show HN: PLAttice, for assembling structures much larger than the 3D printer bed

Based, PLAttice, for assembling structures much larger than the 3D printer bed works in show hn launch.

Profile

Struts, nodes, and pins are reversibly assembled into fully 3D printed lattices, trusses, and tree-like structures spanning up to a few meters. I used the system to build a stand for an overhead table lamp which supports a ~1 m cantilevered arm using a tensioned floor-to-ceiling column. If you want to give it a try, find the *.stl files at the bottom of the page; figure ~1 kg of PLA and ~1 day of print time per meter of box truss; pay attention to print orientation; plz respect the license; and definitely print the pin trimming jig.

As a business in show hn launch, PLAttice, for assembling structures much larger than the 3D printer bed is listed here with the public details available about it.

Directory data places it at the Show HN launch stage.
