I'm too old school for a multi color printer so this has some defects. I printed .02 layer then do a color change so in a way it smashes it all together and it such a thing layer its hard to see around the edges. The plexi sheet is actually imbedded into the print, I left a gap in the model and paused the print and inserted the plexi, it then printed over the edges.

As for the tubes they are place holders until we get something better.

Its just the novelty, the front falls off.

Some of them are built so the front doesn't fall off at all.

What if we bring it outside the environment?
