I had a spool of gold ABS loaded into the printer after helping the 10 year old print up some gold bars and coins for a school project. I don’t have many things that get printed in gold, and I don’t particularly want this spool to sit around and age without using it up – so I pondered what I might print in gold. As a happy coincidence, what ever I did end up printing with the gold would likely push the printer over the 2 kilometers of printed filament mark. Time for another coin to celebrate!
