Your discussion of how to prevent parts from sticking to a mold, and the article "Why Molds Stick" got me to thinking. The conditions that cause a mold to stick are the same as those needed to make 3DP parts stick to the print bed. The problems with molds become the exact solutions to a common 3DP problem. I think this duality is something that arises frequently in design. You did a study on "bad ideas" (forgot the number). What makes a lot of ideas "bad" isn't the idea. It's the context.
Enjoying the studies. I think I found your site via a link on a Hackaday article, but not sure.
