Certainly one of my favorite shapes!

Looking forward to seeing the finished product. If I had a 3D printer or CNC machine (and knew how to use them) I would be making all sorts of stuff in bulk.
Oh cool look forward to see this done :) how does 3d printed stuff polish up? Just like any other polish?
*Finished* product, I say finished because this is dry fitted straight out of the printer, I might do some sanding and I will for sure be glueing it together!

Honestly I don't usually polish 3D printed parts! I prefer to leave the layered texture in there because i think it looks cool!
If you want a super smooth surface finish it will polish the exact same as ABS because well it is ABS, but an even better way is to drop about 3500 on and SLA printer, those things print a mirror finish. (I'd recommend the formlabs form 2)
I seem to remember seeing 3d prints made nice and glassy using heated acetone vapors(or something similar).

this is about as close as I can't get with my phone camera!
That's pretty sweet my friend. But, if it were mine, I'd smooth it out. Just me, but it looks cool in it's natural state as well. Nice work!
