If you make it simpler, it's faster to make (large advantage) and easier to analyze the strength of it.

The reason we dont machine ours from solid is because are mill is not capable of producing those parts at a reasonable time. a FR of 3in/min for aluminum on average. Much faster to cut the sides on plasma in a minute. and machine the plastic at 7-8 in/min.
