Description

A little model (loosely) based on the Cray Supercomputers of the 70's and 80's. I don't know how well it will print, and would be happy if someone would print one and upload a photo of it.
Due to incredibly bad planning on my part, the whole thing is 3'9" tall. I assume that it can be scaled down for printing, and the original Sketchup file is included if you want to modify it.

I believe that you can upload it without tagging it if it is just so simple that it obviously will work: no/little overhangs, no incredibly narrow parts, etc.

That's like asking why read a book if you don't know what happens in it.

Can't claim to have tried, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't print unless those little bridges at the top of the side indentations are too long.

Another piece for the Cube Farm playset? :)

It could be used for that, yes. I've just realised i've been a pillock and made it full size, ie 3'9". Presumably you can scale it from that though.

Just curious why design it if you can't print it.

I figure as long as it's tagged as a work in progress it is cool.

There are lots of reasons to design and upload things that can't be printed.

1. I was bored

2. I plan to save for a 3D printer, so i want to have things ready to print when i do.
