What was the main difficulty, here? It's neat, but I'm not seeing the novelty. Is it the mm-scale capillary action, or the fact that it was done with 3D print

- TheRealPomax 5y ago"Yes." The best we've been able to do for capillary action so far has been through machining (e.g. fountainpen feeds) which has no real internal structure and will happily leak all over the place it touches something else, or sintering, which has a microstructure that takes forever to do its thing.
- omginternets 5y agoHuh, I guess this one of those “it looks easier than it is” things. Cool! Thanks for the explanation.
- TheRealPomax 5y agobeing able to create true, 3d cappilary volumes? Ridiculously hard.
