Just out of curiosity how long did it take to make the wiggy smiley face? Not including set up and design.
oatmeal flavor:
Is the plastic overly brittle when the printing is done?

Took about 10-15 minutes from the moment I hit print to completed part. It's 1.5" in diameter (pretty much a ping pong ball). It has a 1mm wall thickness.

I'm using their newer plastic called "PLA" which is supposed to be about as tough as ABS. But, it is a printed part, so it will be more fragile. That said, I was sanding the smiley with some 100 grit and a good amount of force to smooth him out and I had no problems despite it being a very thin part :D

Hey Wiggy! I just had a quick question. I already know you are quite well versed with gaming systems and I was hoping you might be able to mod a top loader nes by adding an av component and led power indicator. I figured it would be best to ask you since even if you aren't sure how to/ don't want to do it you most likely know someone who can mod my nes for a reasonable price. Thanks for your help! ;D
