Description

This takes Hour Glass Units and forms them into a 36 ring hexagonal unit. The closest thing to it in the weave library is one Hour Glass Napkin Ring, which is absent of three opposing sets of orbitals and the rings that hold them in.

This unit is the basis of, and can be expanded into Hour Glass Web with a large enough AR.

.048" (1.2mm) stainless steel, brass
19/64" (mm), 9/32" (mm) mandrels
.326", .318" ID

The unit is fairly tight at this ring size.

More ideally:

The six vertical rings on the inside edge would be a bit smaller.
The horizontal rings should be doubled, tripled, etc. at the appropriately increased AR to increase stability
