For this peculiar application ending convergent assembly as early as possible is desirable. <br>
Super large [[crystolecule fragment]]s are hard to align to [[positional atomic precision]] when vibrations from external sources are present.

Self centering is unfortunately not an option since [[covalent surface interfaces]] irreversibly bond on first contact.

== Niche usefulness of macroscopic single crystals ==

* Absence of absolutely all interfaces provides only minor and questionable advantage in absolute tensile strengths. <br>Form closure fir tree interfaces can preserve a good deal of the absolute tensile strength of the bulk material and such non-bonding interlocking interfaced provide spots that can reliably stop cracks.   
* Single crystals are obviously non-modular and non-reusable, so from a recycling perspective not very desirable.
