minus-squarev1605@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoUV 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.
