Modular System for Creating Large Hexagon Paterned Panels.

thingiverse

Create expanded panels bigger than standard print settings utilizing the attached components as shown below. Components fit seamlessly together with intuitive connectors. Load into your preferred CAD program to create more bespoke pieces just like the custom 19-inch, two rack unit (2RU) panel depicted on this design. The printing process may require some finesse due to slicing intricacies. Designed for optimal performance at .4mm layer thickness and .5mm extrusion width specifications. After encountering issues with bridging settings in Slic3r, I discovered that adjusting the solid infill pattern to every third layer and setting the bottom solid fill to zero yields better results. If the first layer beneath the hexagon design appears rough or uneven, adjust your printer's flow by utilizing the "flow multiply" feature (if supported on Repetier). View this custom rack panel for best effect in a full-screen display. Recent upgrades have improved its structural integrity, and consider using versions with built-in pads if corner lifting remains an issue.
