Completed! Total time was approx. 32 hours, total length from tip to tip measuring 31.5" I ended up getting a balsa wood rod from Michaels that fit and glued it in, and had the green filament to color the handle. Going to let the glue dry throughout tomorrow and shop for the plant life to add on. Thanks so much for the link! Should be awesome to have for Sunday.

THAT LOOKS AWESOME--Green filament is a great touch! GLHF at your prerelease :D (Seriously this made my day and I've tacked up your pic to near the computer i do my CAD on)

Just got my Lulzbot Taz6 for my birthday. Current estimation with 1.75mm PLA is 9.5 hours for stages 1-3 scaled down to 75%. hoping to get this sucker done by my Sunday pre-release, or release day if not.

That's awesome! Great machine and good luck building! Just to note, there's some holes for connecting pegs on it, if you size down though you might be able to get away with just hot gluing or acetone/superglue fastening things together :)

I wonder if it's this or the actual card that's more expensive.

Sorry, to clarify it was made on a Flashforge Creator Pro (much cheaper, knockoff version of a Makerbot) which doesn't need its own special filament. The infill is 15%, so the actual amount of filament is probably around 1/4 of a roll (if that?)....so ~$10 for just the plastic. Most of the cost was the time for modeling or the fake plants :)
