Internal geometry — X-ray
See-through internal view. Left: fluid footprint in plan, true scale (teal); ports show as the wider circles. Right: isometric of the internal void, vertical z exaggerated 3× for visibility. The exterior is an opaque solid block — this is what is inside it.

Description
A single monolithic block for resin SLA (Phrozen Sonic Mighty 12K, 19 × 24 µm non-square) with one straight rectangular channel 150 µm deep × 2500 µm wide, running the full 20 mm port-to-port at mid-height, a solid floor below and ceiling above, and two Ø1.5 mm vertical access bores to the top surface. The vendor part is a COC body sealed with a foil lid — this is a different physical construction that reproduces only the channel cross-section. Footprint 24.5 × 5.5 × 1.95 mm.
Verification
| metric | value |
|---|---|
| Channel cross-section (H × W) — vendor | 150 × 2500 µm |
| Channel length — OUR design | 20 mm OUR DESIGN |
| Footprint (L × W × H) — OUR design | 24.5 × 5.5 × 1.95 mm |
| Channel volume — analytic (nominal) | 7.500 µL |
| Channel volume — measured on the model's mesh | 7.650 µL |
| Δ (mesh − analytic) | +2.00% — uniform 0.4 mm boolean overrun; cross-section exact |
| Void watertight | True |
| Void connected bodies | 1 — bore→channel→bore continuous |
| Chip watertight | True |
| Chip Euler number | 0 — genus-1: one cavity, two vents |
| Min feature vs Phrozen 12K X (px_min = 150/19) | 7.89 px |
| Min feature vs Phrozen 12K Y (px_min = 150/24) | 6.25 px |
All geometry checks run with trimesh (merged vertices) on the exported STLs. See the bundled README for the full method.
Source & print adaptation
Source dimensions are what the originating design publishes; ours are what our CAD model is drawn at. Where the two are the same number, no feature was resized to print. No public URL for the source is on record in this repository, so it is cited as plain text rather than linked.
Provenance & caveats
Vendor-attributed: only the channel cross-section (H × W = 150 × 2500 µm) is taken from the vendor product page. OUR design (not the vendor’s): the channel length (20 mm) and the footprint. The envelope is our design; the vendor technical datasheet is robots-blocked. Ports are simplified straight cylindrical bores, standing in for the vendor’s MFCS Mini Luer sockets. Status — Phrozen Sonic Mighty 12K design, checked in CAD: the geometry is watertight and volumetrically checked in CAD — see the Verification table above for the numbers.
