Quick and dirty 5 minutes craft: Draw a rough shape, define the contact surfaces & load, click run, and get the optimized shape. The last step is converting the output to a printable shape and running one more simulation to double-check it is strong enough.

    I don’t follow you. Look at the photo, the thing is made of triangles. It’s the best shape. So I wonder, why use more than just one? Why make the shape require more than one triangle?

      Hum, ok, I misunderstood you.

      Your 1 triangle will need the inclination similar to that middle segment of the bottom side of the piece. I will be huge.
