Nice design. Now is the comfort for long wear? May I ask where you get the lenses from?
I wore them all day yesterday, no problem.
The nose bridge is angled 45 degrees, so it has steps due to the layers of PLA. I expected to have to chemically-polish it with acetone or smooth it out with sandpaper, but I didn't to test it out, and it turns out to be comfortable as-is. Actually, the steps may provide a bit of additional grip on the skin of my nose.
As for the temples, they're printed length-wise, so what pushes on my ears is basically a bundle of smooth PLA wires deposted in several smooth swoops. I didn't do anything to them either.
But I did take a lot of time to model everything to the exact shape of my anatomy. I find that's what seems to matter the most.
And of course, the whole thing weighs 14 grams. That's never going to cause a lot of discomfort.
I had the lenses made and mounted to my regular metal frames 2 or 3 years ago by my local optician. Not sure which. Specsavers probably.
