I see this type of design as the main strength of QRDude. |
For sure! I have a further question -- do you find anything similar with the higher primes, N17 N19 (not N23 I gather) N29?
PS One thing I'd like to mention in terms of a build is you can split non-zero-depth wells. Any well can be split, but it's obviously preferable to select a well that is as close to zero-depth as possible. Often the well next-closest to zero is only a few millimeters deep, so it won't affect the frame strength to cut the left-right sides down a bit.
