Hi Logan.
Great video and I said so on YouTube.
I mentioned adding strength via adding a layer of fibre glass or carbon fibre.
I would like to explain my approach.
If you look at foam core construction as used in boats you find that a rather weak foam when between a thin layer of fibre glass becomes unbelievably strong. A similar approach is used in aircraft.
I am thinking such an approach could be used to reduce flex in 3d printed objects.
Needless to say comparability between the printed material and resin needs to be tested.
If you were to print a unit such as you have and put a few holes in it so resin on both sides could connect and add Matt and resin all over I think the flex would be greatly reduced.
If you have no experience with fibre glass I strongly suggest you learn to use it.
One trick I use is to make something in cardboard and then glass it..well the result is with the cardboard impregnated with resin it becomes in effect reinforced plastic often all that is needed but with an litter thin skin of glass and resin you may be amazed just how strong the card board unit becomes.
I have not used carbon fibre but as I understand things the carbon fibre simply replaces the fibre glass in the build.
I did like your imaging set up. Well done keep up all you are doing and please keep sharing your progress.
Alex
