And Jays paint dept. gets a spot on the wall!

Caballo Diablo finalized in the Wild/Spokes version!

Have to leave the optical filament long to be trimmed AFTER finish!

Key cap, cover what ever ya call 'm are on the printer now with a business card of sorts should be done in 'bout an hour.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Thinking about making the business card part WH stencil. Have a head, wheel, and little circle cutouts so you can easily draw a WH on whatever.

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Is there any kind of guage that would be handy around a horse? Some sort of alignment jig or belt tension checker we could integrate into the card?

Yeeesh. Dunno....

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Well the one on the printer now is a key fob type deal, 3/4 or so by 2?

Lol was working on the key covers at the same time!

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

A coat of acetone and were in business

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Lol like I said left the filament long, clip AFTER

Paint etc....keeps holes from getting clogged or final end of fiber getting covered over...just snip once all done!

When you snip, you leave a clean end!

These are incredibly simple, and I managed to get the tolerance where this key actually friction fits in and both sides stay on with no glue lol.

I may need to loosen it up a little. Could also thicken it up a little and round it a bit more i kinda like the thin feel of this, but thats me.

Is this something that should go to the store?

Id probably price these at 3 bucks for 2.

To install simply brush a little nail polish remover on each half and squeeze together for a min.

This ones all set for @Achto, he's investigating

some options to apply a suitable patina. I offered to go collect lichens......

[Wheel Horse 3D 3,795]

Some notes on this black filament and some layer height experimenting, and some other thoughts on next steps.....this filament is really nice. Once I tried a layer height at .01mm

It gave a smooth satin finish that catches the light really nice, I hated putting acetone on the last one! Once the store generates a little more revenue Ill be trying some silver(the last "silver" I tried was light gray NOT silver!) Definately would not be chrome but still a nice satin sheen!
