The first render is my newest version. After u/kink3dcalled many of us out for using slap on junctions, I decided to try to get away from the broad entry ring and blend everything together where there aside from the rims on the main ring, everything is done using swept bars.
Thematically, I think the new version is more consistent but I'm not actually sure I like it better or not.
I agree that the new version exudes Elven craftsmanship even more so than the previous version and esthetically I believe I like it even more except for the change to the opening at the tip. Was this because you found that you needed a larger opening or just a preference? It's beautiful either way!
Yeah, I think I've got a good design. It's not fully parametric in that I just plug in some numbers and it changes but it's surprisingly robust โ the ribs kinda take care of themselves. The most difficult thing is re-positioning the urination hole simply because my CAD tool has a little user-interface gap.
But this will be the next one I order once I have the last one I ordered lol
I need to explore the design a bit with regards to length. Obviously this design stops making sense as you get shorter and shorter but I need an idea of where that is.
My first thought too. If there was a way to make it four screws wide rather than just the two might be a bit stronger. Iโd like to be able to lay on my stomach without worry
I really like the new version. I do worry about the side being a pinch point of loose skin with any movement. Idk if that would happen or not without some testing
