Need an ID please. This is an SBB piece I gave to a buddy and don't remember what it is. Any ideas?

Steak with roasted veggies, 3 glasses of cabernet sauvigon. Nightquil before bedtime
That's the classiest way I've ever heard of someone getting messed up on Nightquil before. Most just try to hide there problem, but good on you for making it classy. Lol

I have to experiment with it. But magnets, if not already plastic coated, are encapsulated in ABS with post processing to seal them water tight. Then placed in PETG for further waterproofing.

I'm not sure if ABS once treated would be clear enough. I've experimented with clear PETG in the past and achieving a crystal clear transparency is difficult. Translucent or a frosted look is generally how they turn out.

This is one of the reasons I've considered a CNC to cut acrylic.

Didnt know the magnets were already coated.
Even being a frosted look, would still be able to see rust starting to form compared to a solid color

Some are, they are specifically plastic coated for waterproofing and underwater use. More expensive.

Stay away from epoxy or rubber coatings as they generally don't hold up as well.

Warning it requires a lot of filament, good bed adhesion, and long print time

Please do... would be much appreciated! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Was 8-9 hours for the starfish... longer because I manually paused and purged filament for different colors
