shamelessly copy/pasting one of the images here, for the many people here that will not go anywhere near FB:

I wonder if @wmoy should redo his Skeloko based on this pattern !

Yeah, I guess we’ll have to see if we can work up a program which will automatically apply this sort of skeletonization to a part in OpenSCAD.

In an open truss structure this is great. But if you’re not doing a full cutout and leaving a skin behind it, I think the “Orthogrid” mendioned in Smarter Every Day’s rocket factory tour would give you the best strength to weight ratio. I might do another Shapeoko extrusion in that style this fall…

Looks like they got the Shapeoko XXXXXXXXXXXXXL version to make those Vulcan parts.
