    Put a motion sensor in the pipe wired to a speaker that makes the warp noise each time it’s triggered.

    This would be a good one to sand and polish if you are ever inclined. All filaments can be polished. PLA is only second best to ABS/ASA in my experience. PLA will hold a shine that is about the same texture as factory Lego bricks.

        They are very different processes. Vapor smoothing is more of a hack than anything. It traps the solvent in the part for a very long time. Like using acetone on auto body trim and bumpers that are mostly ABS will get you fired from any shop. It will bleed and ruin the top coat an clear coat as it vents from underneath them. In my testing, acetone greatly alters the structural strength as well. Polishing maintains or in some cases improves the mechanical performance of parts. Even for cosmetics, the polished part will look like it was injection molded while the inconsistency and rounded corners of vapor smoothing look very DIY. Polishing can be done poorly, and I am an actual finishing pro, so YRMV.

          Luckily the part doesn’t have to be clearcoated and it actually has minimal impact on part strenght if you limit the exposure time

      Just because of your silly comment, I’m going to make my own model of this, even though someone already has, and Im going to print it out. Why? Because those two things will cost less and take less time than ordering one.

      Edit: A little sketch, and a little revolve, and the .stl has been sent to the printer.

        Here’s hoping you threw a little fillet on the top outer rim. That model was begging for a bit of a rounded edge.

          Depends on which generation of mario game you’re going with.

          Old ones didn’t have the pixels for the fillet

        Yeah, good idea. Let’s use more plastic for useless fucking things. Or, maybe just go the fucking hardware store and buy it.
