Since people wanted to see how it turned out. This is a 330x330 object that covers the entire purported print area of my machine.

I’m ashamed to admit that I undershot my filament usage calculation slightly, and I chickened out just before the finish line. I didn’t have any more white in stock, so I switched to some grey of the same type from the same manufacturer by doing a mid-air refuel, shoving the end of the new spool in chasing behind the very tail of the old one. I don’t think it looks too bad. I may just spraypaint the entire thing white later anyhow. I wanted to use a light color in order to more easily spot and keep track of screws and springs and such.

    I think the yellowish part is just a shadow from something, because the ‘remove screws’ stickers on the sides also change color

      Yes, and let me tell you about how many times I’ve resolved to finally one day remove those stickers and I still haven’t. Now that they’ve been thoroughly baked in the enclosure they’re on there good.
