Layer 1, the base, where all the important stuff happens, the hashed area is carved out to a depth of around 3mm, this is the "suction" side of the pump, and allows the block to actually pump water (the vital detail missing in fixittt's concepts). it also has the small retaining hole for one end of the impeller axle as well as shallow grooves directly over the core area for a bit more surface area.
