Description
Yes, this is a 3D model of a rectangle.
I am writing a blog series about designing a low cost yet very capable homemade testing machine and using it to analyze the mechanical properties of 3D printed materials.
This rectangle is actually a test specimen specifically designed for a 4 point bend loading on my machine.
.
You can follow along with the project at the link below, any feedback or fresh ideas will be greatly appreciated! What mechanical properties would you test
