What could I fill it with that would add long-grain strength? I was thinking of doing an epoxy fill, but I don't think that would get me anywhere.
Hard mode: think we could cast this out of aluminum? Would be fun to make an absolute death machine
Honestly, with the extreme sweep of the foil, I don't think there will be an easy printing orientation for you here. Maybe if you split it like in this image you can print the layers in an axis with less load to reduce the reliance on layer adhesion. I'd also give you a place to insert cross struts with more support material around them to possibly stiffen it some more
Dude, that's a smart way to split it. Could probably build a spar all the way into it. Will have to play with that tonight
