What brand of filament is that? Looks nice.

I mentioned previously that it might be 3DE PLA, but it could also be galaxy black PLA from Prusa. I think that is the most likely, it has a very faint sparkle in it.

Are you concerned at all of the exhaust heat coming out with PLA's low melting point? Your design looks killer! Nice job!

The heat mainly comes out of the top, so far it has not been a problem. But all the concerns have made me want to print a new revision in a more durable filament. Thank you for the compliment, I really like it too.
