Super mysterious tease of my largest print ever

I'll apologise in advance for just teasing this without proper details, but I was so happy to have it done (since it's the result of finally getting PLA to print nicely from my e3d V5) that I have to tell someone who will understand my pain :)

I need to finish the pieces and glue it all together but the print consists of:
• 8 parts, most of which took up the full build plate size
• print times ranged from 10 to 20 hours each
• 3 full rolls of black PLA even with huge cavities cut out of each to save filament
• print speeds ranging from 30 to 80mm/s.
• 0.6mm nozzle diameter
• over 100 hours of printing time

Don't worry I need to have this finished this week so I'll be showing pics soon :)

Again, sorry for the rotten tease.

*UPDATE*
Check out the final product!! On this post here:

Ha ha... No I'm sorry somewhat and if I weren't so excited at printing PLA I wouldn't have done this :)

...or would I?

Well I just now tried to take a photo to show just a small segment, but there's really nothing I can photograph of it that wouldn't give the whole thing away :/ Man I should just be quiet, I feel I'm digging a hole here.

Is that why I found a 3D scanner mounted above my toilet?!

I knew it! You are printing my arse! Wait, no, that would take WAY more than 3 rolls of PLA...

Did the blackboard ever say "Miss Jane", though, or was that just Mr Squiggle?

You know I don't recall.... I know blackboard was really impolite so I doubt he'd say 'miss jane'

I stand corrected lol Mr squiggle would do the "hurry up miss jane" trying to get his rocket door open.and black board was just "Hurry up"
