have you sorted it yet? any colour preference? what would you like to pay?
the supports would come out easy, my lad has done loads of stuff, 8 bit tie, desk tidy, christmas decorations etc...
pics aren't wonderful sorry and the blue bauble was just a test one. red one is stuffed with cotton wool so looks bit odd.
If I understand properly, Alex is printing it off now. I've been looking into prices for commercial printing but they're a bit high. My mate's ordering some plastic for his desktop tonight so next week he should be able to run it off. The big question for me is what the finish will be like on the bellmouth, obviously it has to be super-smooth but I guess I'll be able to put in the lathe for polishing.
Not necessarily, a slightly rough finish can be good at promoting micro vortices across the surface which can improve the aerodynamics due to lower air resistance and things. The surface is a golfball is dimpled for a reason after all
