Thanks, I've been printing almost non stop since I got it fixed (most recently, wheels that don't wobble for Artie's drive)

I've got both lens retainers printed now, my lens positive master is sanded and waxed, and I got some supplies to attempt a basic mold and resin cast.

I'm tempering my expectations.  My research has led me to believe that to get a proper clear lens I would need both a vacuum chamber (to degas the silicone) and possibly a pressure chamber (to pressurize the resin).  Probably better silicone, too (I'm using the cheapo method of 100% silicone caulk).

I've done human head casts with silicone caulk. It's capable of capturing quite a bit of detail and doing a damn good job in general if it's done right. I look forward to seeing your results.
