[SML] 3-D printers

[taco at peak.org]

"Not completely clear" is probably way better, anyway. And I only need a deep enough layer to have the front shape and the rounded corners. But I suspected it would still be out of my budget. It's fun to dream, though. And if you ever could afford a box of them, they'd get used again.

Others beat me to it.... PETG is the stuff.... but others have said, 
it's not perfectly "clear." I've made things with LEDs inside of it, 
and it's fun and funky, but you also see the layers laid down by the 
machine, so think of it as directional silk lighting diffusion. :) 

Some explanation and printed examples here:

To make something truly hollow with PETG, look up "vase mode" in 
regards to 3D printing.
