At first with the kerning on my screen I was wondering why MIT had an Australian TLD.

They seem most interested in the thin band running through the lattice, my curiosity is how well can the 3D printer make that consistently? I would assume it's contribution to strength might be pretty significant, and might be quite non-linear with any variance.

A common frustration I've had with 3d printing is even keeping within specs on thin planes and walls can turn out suboptimally, but maybe thats some bike shedding, I'm ceratinly not doing anything in metal.
