In a not quite as rapid as actually print the file time frame, my project has finally arrived. I'll post some images of the final appearance, but here are a couple of shots of the piece right out of the box. A quck note, contrary to my initial tests, the material proved to be surprisingly flexible and springy. In some cases I was able to twist it almost 180° without it snapping
. I even had to resort to using cutters to snap the material after throwing it as hard as possible at the ground fialed to cause breakage in the print. The second area of difficulty was assembling the shattered pieces. It seems the material this time was somewhat porous and absorbed the superglue I applied preventing the pieces from sticking. Eventually I was able to get the glue to hold. Despite these setbacks and adjustments I think the project still came out alright with the remaining aspects of the material I was exploiting working as planned.
