Here are the photos from the attempt mentioned above. again this isn't a how to, this was me and my brother thinking "we got a hot fire and a bunch of cans, why not try?" The first photo is the Part I designed to make just a surface cavity that we could fill just by pouring (4500). The second is the resulting ugly part (4501). The third photo is the puck I printed at the lowest fill and wall thickness I could and still get a flat top (4502), and the last photo is the resulting sprue that we filled and the resulting burn mark in the plastic (4503).
