Love This New Shell and LEDs

Dude, you should re-post this with the ‘here is the inside’ picture featured as the main picture. Thing is fucking sweet!

@v1605 · 5 months ago

Haha thanks. I debated on which picture to use, I settled on this one mainly because I was so impressed with the UV print quality, though LEDs are great for those sweet, sweet internet points.

What does UV printed refer to?

I’m not in the 3d printing yet, that looks awesome.

@v1605 · 5 months ago

UV printing is a way to print designs on plastic and other materials (special ink is applied to the surface and cured with UV light). This shell was definitely injection modeled, not 3D printed. I’m pretty sure the shell itself is this one.

Here’s a pretty good video on it (recommend setting it to 1.25x speed)

So it’s more like “UV cured” rather than “UV printed”.

@v1605 · 5 months ago

No, UV printed is still the correct term. For 3D printing, “resin printed” is the more common term.

Just might have to find where to get one of these.
