Tiny model wave-dissipating block based on the 1960 patent description. Design parameters can be modified in Customizer across the full range described in the patent:

  • Leg taper half-angle: between 9–14° (default: 11½°)
  • Leg length/leg base diameter aspect ratio: between 85–115% (default: 100%)

With the default values, the model is 50 mm high.

Support is required when printing. This shape is made of overhangs, and its bed contact is very small.

A variant designed for producing part moulds is in development.
