About this model

"Gomez" from the Addams Family once said this -- "Just because it's a bad ides doesn't mean it won't be a good time" and I changed the final part to read "doesn't mean it won't be interesting" because I couldn't remember the proper phrase at the time I was working on it in Fusion 360 and I was too lazy to start over and change it - LOL. What you see is what you get. Layer changes occur at layers 11 and 21. White for the background, Yellow for the smiley face & text though Orange might be the better choice here (My Orange filament was busy at the time I printed this) and Black for the rest. White background, layer change to Yellow(or Orange) at layer 11 and change to Black for the eyes & rest of the border at layer 21.
