I got my prototype back from shapeways today!

The only bad thing I noticed here is that the holes I planned to put the wires through don’t go all the way through. There is a visible dent there (and a black dot on one where I tried to poke a pen through), but not an actual hole. Those holes are already way bigger than I needed for the wire, but clearly still too small for this material, even though it sounded like it would work. Well–that’s one of the reasons I did this quick test–just to see if everything worked as I expected. The walls actually seem thicker than I need, but I reserve final judgement until I wind one and see if it ends up breaking.

But, I’m out of town for a wedding this weekend, so I won’t get any more done on this until next week…
