Hey all. Here's my first project of the year. I really wanted to try making a tombstone that I could 3D print. I designed it all in CAD, and then printed everything out in PETG. This will alleviate any warping issues, like you get with PLA, when it's left out in the sun. I also added in some cutouts throughout the tombstone for sticking some rebar in. When assembled it's 21" tall, and 18" wide.

How are you going to stick the pieces together? Glue?

I'm planning on using epoxy for these big pieces.

Wow, how long did it take to print?

I think I would be more tempted to print finial structures and art carvings to glue onto a foam tombstone. As a proof of concept I think you've got a good working model there. I just think it's more cost effective to use foamboard.

This took about 2 1/2 days of total print time.

Probably more cost effective, but these 3d printed pieces are a hell of a lot more durable. Total amount of filament for these was around $30.
