As your other post eluded to, yeah, Java loves its patterns, and sometimes there's a gem in some Java example. On the other hand, the reason Java loves its patterns so much is that doing complex things in Java is so much more of a PITA.

What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

After two weeks of playing with a 3D printer, I finally have some useful results. This is a landing gear I have made for a 1/16 scale Seaking. The landing gear is going to be retractable and the model is going to fly, of course.

Do the cut out circles in the flange add strength? Or are they cut out to reduce weight?

They reduce weight without sacrificing too much strength. You will find this all over an aircraft.[^] If you choose the right materials and profiles. you can have 70 - 90 percent of the strength at 30 - 50 percent of the weight. For the model they are too small to be really significant and it comes down to just mimicing the looks of the original.

Not to mention that the plastic of the model is massively thicker than the sheet ally of the real thing.

When compared to scale, of course. That's also the reason why the bathtub sized Titanic does not sink when it collides with your Ducky. If the hull plates were made exactly to scale, they would be no more than tinfoil.

If your Titanic was 1/16 scale do you really think it would fit in your bath? 
I was wondering whether you could have made it out of thin alloy instead, much more realistic.

Nope. 1/200 or even smaller, if you want to get in as well. For a helicopter 1/16 is about as small as I would like to go. The additional mass makes it more stable and very much less nervous in the air and you have a better ratio of the motor power to the heli's mass, compared to smaller models.

How strong is the printed plastic?

I have printed tiles for a game plan from the same spool. The tiles are about a centimeter thick and mostly hollow (10% infill). Still I can step on them without any cracking.
Here are the numbers, if that helps you more: Polylactic Acid (PLA, Polylactide) :: MakeItFrom.com[^]

Removing material never adds strength, but the edges of the cut outs are returned, so they add stiffness as well as the loss of material making it lighter.

It also reduces air-drag, which is significant at the velocities of the real thing. Plus: it does look cool.

Nice. Do post pics of the finished model when done.

Is that so? Last week our customer was here and we talked about how much they already rely on 3D printers. You should better not take a bus from now on, because that's what they build.

As long as they aren't making the bus frame, engine, transmission, suspension, or any non-plastic piece of critical safety equipment from 3D printers, I would ride it.
