The only tell is a slight bump on the seam line of the back. It’s 0.1mm layer heights and 0.6mm thick.

Printed in TPU, I was looking for a solution like this for a future project and wanted to share it with someone.

CAD, got the parts designed up, then made 2 prints.

Print 1 is one half while print 2 I only printed the first layer. Aligned the 2 prints, then resumed printing.

I used magnets to hold the finished part down as to not move.

Were you able to remove it from the bed and re-align it? That's some clean alignment.

Look closely in the middle and you will see a nook. That said the clear TPU is helping hide it
