I just tied down the car cover I have on mine earlier today, as I nearly lost it the two previous nights because of the weather, so I'm not going out to find out, although I'm tempted to say parallel going by your models.

I did a quick render of what a printed version is likely to look like. The lines on the top would be concentric, but it gives a good idea of the texture. I'll print one when I get home tomorrow.

I was just fumbling with Mr Blobby's knob (which is now in my car) today as date and time had gone due to battery going flat

I printed a couple of the first models and didn't like the shape or fitment so redesigned it:

Nice one MJ.
Craig has started the design of my tram track cobble inlays. But he wants to print the flexible dragon first. Done the skull and jaw already.

You've got flexible filament working with the CR-10? I made a few modifications and tried with Ninjaflex but it just wouldn't play so I gave up. I'm going to build a separate printer with a flexstruder instead, specifically for flexible filaments.

I'm thinking colour matched to some relevant component of the interior trim...
But what choices does your process offer on colour?

Lots of colours, but all fixed. There's no option for custom colour matching. One might get lucky and find something that suits.
There are some polishable filaments which might be worth a try, to match the brushed aluminium bits. |
