Print settings were adjusted to balance surface quality, translucency, and durability.

The aim was for a  a cloudy “frosty” effect to contrast with the black glass.

The result was sufficient for the timeline of this project.

(For greater translucency, the part could be casted or SLA printed; however this approach was unfeasible with my resources and in the allotted timeframe.)
