3D Printed Fly Fishing Reel

Thanks guys.
Currently working on an alternative lid with a small plaque on the top featuring a rising trout.
Tried a plaque in Bronzefill but it didn't stand out too well against the Timberfill.
I'm going to try again with a sample of Colorfabbs new Brassfill which just came in the post.
I'll post photos later if it turns out well.

Hmmm, not sure about the Brassfill. Seems to come out a bit gritty compared to Bronzefill.
The promo photos look fantastic (don't they always) but I can't seem to get a finish on it that I'm happy with.
To be fair, Brassfill is still in beta. Hopefully, they'll improve the formula.

They both look great to me. I would be proud to say that I printed those and so should you!

I would be tempted to tweak your infill overlap a little bit to see if you can close up some of the infill/perimeter gaps.

Thanks eaglezoar, I think I'd be happier with the Brassfill if I could just get a bit more shine on it.
I'll maybe try a different polishing method.
@geneb, I printed that lid at high speed just as a rough draft, hence the poor surface finish.
