Printed using hatchbox wood pla. I had a few issues with standoffs but a little glue fix those right up. I'm very happy with the way it turned out. Just waiting on the release of flippy drive to call it complete.

Looks good. Consider sanding and staining it? This is where wood pla really shines. There are some tricks with stain to give it some wood grain appearance as well.

Yeah I have to look into this more. I did some sample prints that I sanded and stained but wasn't super happy with the results.

Some recommend gel stains. I've just used regular stain though and been happy with it. Foam sanding pads are. Nice for tight areas. Aersol sealant is nice for this sort of thing.

It reminds me of an Aperture Science Weighted Test Cube!

Science isn’t about WHY. It’s about WHY NOT.

Now we just need the 3d printed controller shell
