And it's done!

It was kind of weird realizing I didn't have anything left to do on it. I did a test upload to ShapeWays to see what the price would be. In the "Smoothest Fine Detail Plastic," the price would be in the $100 mark.... I don't think so. I think I'll choose "White Premium Versatile Plastic," which puts the price at just under $50. I'm expecting to have to do some cleaning of the parts anyway, so having a little more work isn't bad. Most people choose the "Natural" option for the plastic, which is why it's usually grainy, so hopefully it won't be as bad in "Premium." Although I have seen people make great models with the "Natural" option regardless.

It does feel good to have actually finished a project (at least this part), too!
