wacky voronoi splitter #56

Open jaredjennings opened 5 years ago

jaredjennings commented 5 years ago

The objects used to split the bottom of the keyboard are regular hexagons. I don't want a leg joint or screw hole base to be split into two pieces by these splitters. But optimizing both the size and offset of the splitters to avoid this is tedious and manual. Couldn't we just construct the splitters from a Voronoi diagram where each feature of the bottom gets its own cell?

Or with large enough hexes to make the bottom only a few pieces will it not matter enough to spend the work?

Splitting the bottom into any kind of pieces for printing and gluing it back together hasn't proven to be much of a tractable problem. Postponing this indefinitely.
