Pardon the brim remnants. Not pictured: the many prior iterations. This started as a head on photo that I imported into fusion 360 and scaled after some measuring with calipers. It's not perfect, but it's rapidly approaching good enough. The square indent is to help with orientation - although the part obviously is not symmetrical, it's much harder to judge the home.

This is a test print in ASA in my least favorite color. The current plan is for the ends to be black PETG and the center section to be natural (white ish) ASA. The PETG will be on a textured sheet, this is just laziness in action while making sure the part dimensions were accurate.
