Hint: Design Proposal: Please comment and improve!
Design Idea and Goal
Convert the design of the D3D Universal to adhere to a grid-based standard. To accomplish this, here are some considerations:
- Printed pieces would need (minor?) changes so that screw-holes match the grid
- Baseplate layout (and parts that connect to it) has to match the grid
Goals
- Make the design more modular and "Lego-like"
- Grid constraints could make future part design more simple
- Grids make parts and assembly more predictable
- Parts have the (increased) potential to be used in ways not imagined before
