# Sag-Mesh Plane v0.1 — Certificate of Central Compromise (CCC)
|
||
|
||
**File:** `sag-mesh-plane-certificate-central-compromise.md`
|
||
|
||
**1. Design Name**
|
||
Sag-Mesh Plane v0.1
|
||
|
||
**2. Central Compromise**
|
||
The plane is formed from a deliberately under-spec PLA+ mesh grid printed only in the Y-axis, with large spacing (2–3 mm) that sags and barely fuses. Flatness and stiffness come from filling this flawed mesh with cheap cement/plaster.
|
||
|
||
**3. Purpose of Compromise**
|
||
To create a rigid, flat panel at extremely low cost by combining a weak, flawed printed lattice with abundant, globally available fill material.
|
||
|
||
**4. Good-Enough Justification**
|
||
The cement provides bulk stiffness; the mesh provides shape control. The result is good enough for jig boards, shelf shims, or tool bases. Not structural, not outdoor-rated—but usable, cheap, and replicable anywhere.
|
||
|
||
**5. Replicability Proof**
|
||
Anchor COTS: rapid-set cement mortar (globally ubiquitous).
|
||
Alternate: Plaster of Paris or Perfect Cast for lighter builds.
|
||
|
||
**6. Substitution Map (Optional)**
|
||
- Heavier/stronger: Portland cement.
|
||
- Lighter/weaker: Perfect Cast plaster.
|
||
- Optional: mosquito net as a poor-man’s fiber mesh insert.
|
||
|
||
**7. Failure Envelope**
|
||
- Not for load-bearing or structural use.
|
||
- Fails by visible cracking or edge chipping.
|
||
- PLA creeps under heat; not to be left in hot sun or car.
|
||
|
||
**8. Statement of Intent**
|
||
This design embraces flawed printing and cheap fill to democratize stiff panels, trading durability and precision for cost, ubiquity, and accessibility.
