Happy Pirates were in invented many years ago when, after building a rip-snorter of a pirate ship in the way that only grandfather's can, the mother of our Mr Four let it be known that perhaps black and death and skulls were not appropriate in her back yard.   Hasty lowering of flags was quickly followed by a raising of standards.

This sneaky eye patch has a grid in the middle so that it can be worn with almost full vision - smaller children in particular like to think that they are watching you and you can't see them!

Simply printed in two colours with a single stop as shown or use the gcode supplied.

Printed in PLA, flat at 0.20 layer height.

To make the compound curved shape -

BE CAREFUL!

Dip the piece in boiling water for a second or so, you are not trying to melt it, just get it   to a state where it can be easily bent, this does not take long!!  (use tongs or pliers for this)

Carefully, (use a cloth to protect your hands from the hot water and plastic) mould it around the base of a small mixing bowl or any other handy object that has a compound curve.

If you aren't happy with the result you can repeat the heating and mould the final detail by hand.
