a base comprising a first material; a sub-base comprising a second material and disposed on the base (e.g., wherein the sub-base has a smaller cross-sectional area than the base); a bulk volume comprising a material different from the base and the sub-base and disposed at least partly on the sub-base (e.g., and also at least partly at the base), wherein a thickness of a portion of the bulk volume that is disposed on the sub-base is less than a thickness of the sub-base; a plurality of posts disposed on the bulk volume, opposite and above the sub-base, for picking up printable material, wherein the plurality of posts, the base, the sub-base, and the bulk volume are arranged such that a force applied to a surface of the base opposite the sub-base is transmitted to the plurality of posts. |
