Hello everyone. After building the orb from Guardians of the Galaxy thanks to Rpf member EIN, I decided that I would like to build each infinity stone object. I already made the aether container from the easter egg after Thor: dark world and since I already have made the tesseract, I figure that making the holder as seen at the end of the Avengers would seem like the next step. All this is being rendered on my IPad Air and printed on my Makerbot Replicator 2

So.. I'm running into a small issue. I need 5" diameter, 1/4" thick clear tubing and I really don't want to do glass. Everywhere I'm looking, they want an arm and a leg. Any suggestions?

Realized that there were some parts not quite as accurate as possible. So made a few changes

One more piece added. Waking up to finished parts like this is fun

I personally like the iPad version better than desktop version. The problem though is that the iPad version isn't good for organic shapes... mostly geometric

The second half of the main tier is done. Each half takes about 8 hours of print time.

How many metres does it take to make it, I am considering a 3d printer but thinking on cost, it looks great. !, so mainly a general question.

Thanks

Not sure on the length it has used but it has used about half a 2kg spool of 1.75mm filament. A single spool of Shaxon brand filament sold at Frys Electronics costs about $27 after tax. Keeping in mind that this thing is very large, that's not too shabby. I predict that it'll use about a spool and a half to print both ends of the holder. I can print an entire Iron Man helmet and not even use and entire spool. [emoji2]
