My girlfriend and I use E-cigs and have quite a collection. That means we also have quite a few batteries laying around, so I designed and printed an organizer for the charger and batteries. A friend saw it and wanted a purple one. I love this pearlescent filament.

That is a nice organizer, a job well done!
Could you give me the source for the filament you used?

Nice. Filament looks like Filamex violet PLA (http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printer-Fila ... 1017053164), and I right?

Thanks! Here's the filament, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BI1 ... UTF8&psc=1 I printed the shell 1 mm thick and you can see the infill through it when light hits it just right. It kinda bounces the light around inside, too. Neat stuff.

Thanks for the info, that is some great looking filament, and it is not expensive. Good find.

you have 16ish batteries?! I've been using the same 3 for about 4 months now. one in the am, one when i get home, and one extra so i always have one charging. do you find they last for more charges if you let them rest more? or are there just a lot of extra spaces?

I usually keep 4 units ready to go with different flavors in them. Also, there are 2 of us using the same battery pool, and we both sub-ohm with mechanicals and RBA's which eat up battery life. Then, there is the slight addiction to equipment.... :roll:
