Re: [DIYbio] improvised tube racks

That can't be printed on an FDM printer like a makerbot because of the overhangs. It'd either need to be redesigned, broken up, printed with supports, or done with a different process like SLS.

Alternately, the idea looks ideal for adaptation to a laser cutter.

Looks like a difficult size and volume of plastic to 3DP with a makerbot
or such, at their current state of capability -- a void or gap would ruin
a long print run, and the qty of plastic is large for those plastic filament
printers.

It IS a great design though, for when 3DP becomes cheap/quick.

Meanwhile a drill press and table or radial saw and salvaged
chunks of hardwood or plastic and you have similar function.
