Considering which "PFY" lap-top housing to choose.
One option listed was "PLA / Metallic Silver Base with Translucent Screen Assembly". One option listed was "PLA / Clear and Translucent".
(a) So for the latter option, the base is the clear part, and the screen is the translucent part? (b) And by "Clear", is the meaning, "see-through", as in I could see the hard-ware components inside of the base, while typing at the lap-top? That'd be really nice, educational. (c) And by "Translucent", is the meaning, like privacy-glass and "frosted" bulbs and "fogged" glass? That sounds interesting. I am guessing that Translucent is offered because it looks nice or something. (d) But how so? What kind of a visual "effect" does the "Translucent" have that looks nice?
Some of the answers might seem obvious enough to not even ask. But I like things to be really unambiguous, even if the cost involved is "only" 500.00 rather than 10,000.00 (;^).
Hoping to pre-"order" soon, Chad. (:^)

i know - i did however try 3d printing PLA that's supposed to be "clear" and it came out translucent, i.e. light would shine through it but the internals were not clear. it's just the way that filament printing is.
the more expensive resin (DLP) or the ultra-expensive sintered powder printing would however come out clear.
