About this model

Thought I'd try to emulate the design for the original tile a little. Wasn't crazy about the 3d water effect I've seen on most water tile designs, so I tried to pretty it up with some designs I combined in Illustrator & Photoshop. I plan to try to print it in a semi-transparent blue filament from AMZ3D, but since I've had bad luck with their filament (brittle) in my Prusa, my backup is a blue/white layered print in Polymaker PLA.
