Sorry it broke.

I really like the cab you saved, though! What is that material?

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Story of my cabbing life - that's partly why I ended up making so many freeforms (lol)

The worst part with a break like this is deciding if you will reshape the dome and keeping the basic shape - or grinding around the whole thing making it smaller but with uniform girdles.

When it shattered..I was seriously bummed…all I wanted to do was a quick salvage job and move on…maybe some day…maybe
