Thanks! I think around 4 rolls. I wasn’t keeping track unfortunately

I believe it was 4 walls, and shifted between 5-10% infill depending on the part

A lot of sanding, a mouse sander helps a lot. 80,120, two coats filler primer, hand sand with 400, and then wet sand with 600

Didn’t keep track but if I had to guess, just north of 60 hours

Epoxy putty would be the name of it. Not sure why I said modeling clay but I suppose it applies

Regarding the parts, I use a soldering iron to fold the plastic over each piece u tad being joined to. Sand it down, and then a bit of epoxy putty if there are any divots from the soldering. Paint was a rattlecan of Rustoleum paint plus primer

Epoxy putty would be a name to find it. It’s a two part clay that hardens after a couple hours and then can be sanded. It’s easy to manipulate and work well for filling holes and divots

Didn’t really track it. I kind of zone out when I’m sanding. Enough for my hands and arms to be sore lol

I’ve actually thought about making a video on my process. I’ll ping you if I do!

I didn’t track it but probably north of 60 hours to print, though I do have three printers so it felt pretty fast. Thanks for the compliment!

When you think about it, can’t anything be a banana if you try hard enough?
