But I don’t have an FDM printer, and ordering a print when I have a printer at home felt like a cop-out. So I sent the model to print.",[216,881,882],{},"Everything printed perfectly, I assembled and glued the blade—and on the guard, I realised I’d glued it wrong. There was no way to fix it.

Then I repeated the crash test: a drop on the sofa from 1 m—held up; from 2 m—held up. I stopped the testing there: I didn’t want to print it again.
