Printed in a beautiful translucent pastel pink and clear PLA. What is particularly remarkable about this reel is "what you see is what I printed". There was no trimming, no sanding, no fitting. The parts snapped right together (with a little super glue to keep them there) and that was it. It's a little hard to see but there is a heart "inlayed" in the spool retainer (the pink round part in the middle on the side with the handle).

Cheers,
Michael

Not sure how helpful it will be but here is a photo of the machine printing a green reel frame.

The CheapSkates days are numbered. I have all the parts here for the TrickTruck upgrade from TrickLaser. Just need a little time to replace them and calibrate.
