@terribleperson: The reuleaux triangle matches the usable area. For production I am putting a circular heating pad under the plate so a reuleaux triangle is a good way to fit a circle between 3 shoulder mount points.
The basalt will act very similar to glass. It just happened to be cheaper to obtain and water jet cut. It also doesn't need to be tempered after being water jet cut like glass would.
@Buytaert: Your math is a bit off but understandably. When I say "3:4 Simpson" I mean the arm length vs shoulder mount separation is 3:4. The macrocreation factor for a 3:4 Simpson is 110%
Let's say I stick with the 3:5 Simpson with a practical macrocreation factor of 50% (theoretical factor of 67%).

When I said I wanted to promote the spread of 3D printing I didn't think about it literally taking over the world. (Where is Randall Monroe to make me some cute illustrations of Simpson taking over the world?)
