With my digital tools progressing and the sets of components defined I have begun to make my final tool, the blocks. These are 3D printed blocks that can be printed with on a printing press.

The components are all designed to relate to each other in terms of size, with there being multiple designs on the same sized body. This will allow me to swap them easily to create new forms.
I have spaced the components into two blocks that are the same size as the build plate of my printer, this means I can produce one complete set in 2 print runs.

The components being printed and dried before curing.

Removing the tab as well as the elephants foot.

The resin blocks are the same height as wooden and metal blocks so the print has accurately produced prints that are 0.918inches in height.
