Here are the 3D printed Antennae - not completely glued, but the 3-part base is glued together and each antenna has its sides on. I bumped the contrast a lot 'cause it's pretty hard to see the black-on-black.
I actually think these turned out surprisingly well. The laser can cause rough edges, so this seems a similar quality to "just cutting" them. I printed each one as three parts at once. Middle and two sides. The two sides are just mirrors and printed with the outside edge down so that the stand-offs can print on top. Since they're so thin, they print fairly quickly.
Here they are just out flat on the counter after gluing together:
And here they are edge on so you can see how they gap:
Savage and I were discussing how a flat pack is faster to cut than 3D-printed - but I daresay that in this case it might be a close call. Especially with the thin bits in the edges.
