This was inspired by the work of Polytechnique Montréal. They didn't share a model, so I made something printable.

This is pretty basic and probably has too many holes but it kinda works, so here it is.
Tips for printing: I had better luck with flexible PLA than with TPU, mostly due to stringing. I'd really like to print it thinner, but I needed 3 layers for wall adhesion and enough strength to peel off the bed without ripping.
I also adjusted my extrusion widths carefully (assuming 0.2mm layer height).
1st layer: 0.9mm
Perimeters: 0.9mm
3rd layer only (modifier required) external perimeters: 0.9mm
This will give you a “brick” style stack of layers for the mesh portion where the 2nd layer binds the bottom layer together and the 3rd layer is just a bit of extra insurance/integrity.
