Mendel framevertex thin shelled
Description
But most small ribs added alof of time for printing.
So there was no print time reduction, only in mass a bit.
For this version2, i made a pretty good compromise between weight/printtime/strength (I think)
At least for PLA that is, i just printed one at 2500mm/min (the green one in pictures).
And im amazed about the strenght.. i think it was only a little bit quicker then normal, but i did use more dense settings.
But the weight reduction is 40%...
And off course alot less warping :)
Btw, Im not finished yet, so v2 is not final.
PS: There is a large and small (sm) STL, because i had trouble with repsnapper v333 and the large STL. With small i mean less triangles/facets, not smaller dimensions
But maybe in other programs the large STL works fine also.

I didn't have much success printing in ABS without a heated bed - Massive Warp. However, your design did inspire me to hack my own...

hmm, the bottom does alot for part stiffness.. Like plastic boxes are very strong, but plastic open shapes not..
And the bottom is not that thick, so it sounds weird to me you get warping.. I only get warping on large plastic masses (4+ mm)... but then I dont print in ABS.
This way you can easily reinforce the parts if deemed necessary by filling it (with polyurethane, glue etc.). With solid parts and low density you have to wait for part to fail and then glue it.
this is nice. all the defalt parts are designed as they were made for milling or something, but with a reprap they can be much nicer. like this..
