So, I'm considering faking them from a sheet of plexi, or using CD cases, and I'm just brainstorming other options that I probably can't afford anyway. So I wondered if 3-D printers had advanced to the point that I could affordably have something made that looked like glass blocks from the audience.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Thanks again!<br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr" data-marker="__DIVIDER__"><div data-marker="__HEADERS__"><b>From: </b>"Jacob Blumberg via Stagecraft" <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br><b>To: </b>"Stagecraft Mailing List" <stagecraft@theatrical.net><br><b>Cc: </b>"Jacob Blumberg" <jacobblumberg18@students.fieldschool.org><br><b>Sent: </b>Tuesday, October 17, 2017 3:07:36 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [SML] 3-D printers<br></div><div><br></div><div data-marker="__QUOTED_TEXT__"><div><div dir="auto">Your best bet would be PETG, but it’s not completely clear.

<span style="font-family: Arial;" face="Arial" data-mce-style="font-family: Arial;">There's clear-ish material. There's also
PolySmooth, a material that goes clear is printed in a thin layer
and run through a Polysher that exposes it to alcohol vapor. Now
some people could skip the machine and just breath on it. :)<br>
<br>
I wouldn't count on them for strength if you want clear. For
cloudy you can get some pretty strong plastic like polycarbonate.<br>

<div>So, hey, you 3-D printer guys... Does an appropriate
material exist and is it economically feasible to manufacture
your own glass blocks, or at least the facades of them? <br>

<div>Thanks!<br>
