minus-squareFlaky_Fish69linkfedilink3•1 year agohow much weight can that thing hold? I wonder if you could make a decent end table for supporting a reading lamp, or something. Maybe print the base as solid and flip it upside down? either way, I find that to be impressive!
minus-square@p1mrxOPlinkEnglish2•edit-21 year agoI tried putting a 1kg box on the 240mm tower, and it buckled. So the limit is a bit less than that. My goal was “just barely printable”, so you could install OpenSCAD and increase the thickness = 1.2 value to support more weight.
