I went with silver knowing the large nose was going to bother me and that darker colors hide it better. I love my T3 and the way it looks but I went ahead and gave it a nose job.
I prototyped it with black tape to see if I would like it before doing the CAD and laser cut work. The tape version was pretty low-rent but got a lot of complements.
So I bought some 1/8” black acrylic and used FreeCAD to cad up the design. Then used my 70 watt CO2 laser to cut it.
I know it’s personal taste. So please don’t flame me. I like it.
Here is the tape prototype. It’s pretty... ...bad.
