Clever! Thanks for sharing Stony.

I've spent many an hour thinking of this very thing, so I can appreciate the cleverness of it. Also too, referred to in the same article is this. A combination of the two methods would make a really nice looking case reminiscent of the Form 1 case.

Let us 3D print the universe. Oh wait! Maybe we already have!
