Damn you've got a sweet printer.  you can barely see the resolution between the layers.  whats a budget for a printer that can do that?  is it yours?  can you get black feedstock?

how will it hold up with the weight of the gun hanging off of it? 

I dont have aimtracks atm but Mattgold might be interested in playtesting this.

It's .25" thick so it will hold up just fine.  I didn't map screw holes in the side piece so you can drill them through but they won't be as strong as mapped through.  Black stock is here as well.  I typically use natural and then just paint it any other color.  More options.  It's my printer, I have two.  That was on the Afinia-H.  It's $1499 and is a 5x5x5 size print bed.  It's proprietary software and design perfected by the Chinese (UP! is the printer the afinia people licenses and then put their brand on it).  You can get that print quality with any other printer but it takes BOAT loads of trial and error to get there.  The Afinia-H comes that way out of the box.  My other printer is a Trial and error Sumpod and it's a lot of fun to better understand how things work.

It took a while to percolate but I took inspiration from Khalid74 and just pulled the trigger on this:

I need to figure out the best workflow to go from sketchup to printing stuff.

Khalid:  question for you:  when you printed the gun holster in it's upright position,  you would have had a 90 degree overhang at the top.  How did you handle that?  Or am I looking at that wrong and you printed it on it's back?
