We have decided to create "test tiles" in the form of traffic cones. The form with stack well and have volume without much mass. Brandon built the 3D model in Blender and is working out the best method to stamp out or deboss the Lyndon Hornet logo into the side of the cone. The first test print had some issues. We believe the top of the cone trailed off into stringy fibers because the cone did not meet the standards for minimum wall thickness. The raised edge of the hornet will need to be removed for a cleaner look. Brandon has revised the file but there are issues when creating slices for printing. We hope to have a new file ready to print this Friday. Check back then!
