Good evening. Content dump time.
It's my birthday today, so I think it's only appropriate to celebrate with a little party — and you're invited.
I have some guests you might like to meet.
Some are old friends. Most are new. Welcome to the main (e)vent.
The Grids

The Architecturals

Care to tell me who were some of the best dressed? Who were the worst dressed?
But yeah, here are all the vent patterns I was able to work on over the past few days.
My personal favorites are the Braun, bird's nest, staggered rounded slots, and polka dot patterns.
The bird's nest design is quite notable since it's more tightly-knit and stronger than the old Voronoi model, retains about the same amount of airflow, should cost about the same to make, and (in my opinion) looks better than the Voronoi design.
I think I'll still be going with the Braun for my personal rig (if I can get it made at a reasonable enough price). If not, then the bird's nest is my next go-to.
The purpose of this is just to get an idea of which vent patterns may be preferred for a production model. Let me know what you think.
