UPDATES and NEWS:
Found an epic little old man who just became a new

neighbor of mine do to city construction. He lived in the world pre-3D

printing where he did all the fabricating for plants, hotwheels cars,

and board games by hand. Just an old engineer who seems to have

specialized in creating things for different uses, tools, toys, signs,

and the like. He gave the suggestion that I try a heat gun and plastic,

then bend the plastic into position. I'll be showing him the pipboy

spec's once he returns from his vacation and he'll likely have a good

deal more input on the fabrication.
