yet another Draincover

I Call It Swirly I decided to try out the instructions on an old print of a pen, just for fun. The first step was the Ultimaker print using ABS material - that's the one I'm most comfortable with. I chose black and let it print, but after about halfway through the print the filament broke so I switched to a spool of silver. It came out kinda wonky in spots due to switching the color mid-print. After the pen was done printing, I submerged it into a bowl filled with ABS slurry. I let it sit there for 24 hours before pulling it back out and letting most of the slurry drip off the edges. Next, I put down a sheet of baking paper on my desk - nothing special, just plain baking paper - and lay down the pen on it. I allowed it to dry at room temperature for two full days without bothering it or moving it in any way. It's essential to be patient at this point since ABS slurry can take that long to harden fully. Afterward, I light sanded all over its surface using a Damp Cloth - don't want the ink messing up when applied next! That helps make sure no extra residue accumulates underneath as we go further along! Once done with that process (light sanding), spray cans were applied all over this model piece using two distinct patterns – silver first followed by glossy black to add more depth in terms visually pleasing appearances while maintaining their structural integrity still intact during these artistic applications process overall completed smoothly throughout entirety despite few challenges faced due slight deviations during fabrication phase prior resulting slightly imperfect finishes nonetheless satisfactory outcomes achieved throughout successful trials experimentation endeavors conducted throughout present timeframe thus yielding desired end product envisioned previously!
