So this is just for the "looks" or am I missing something here?
Doesn't seem to do anything for adhesion which I wouldn't consider to be a replacement as the title implies it is...
Unless, of course, you are looking for a different bottom surface finish.
Yep, seems to be strictly inferior prints in return for a fancy texture. So if you have uncomplicated prints but want a holographic texture on them, maybe that's something to get.
funnily I received my identical carbon-fiber surface the day before this video came out.
I had been faking carbon-fiber texture on my phone cases I sell using CAD alone. This is a much better solution for me, no extra modelling for each version. It also looks better and more realistic than my previous approach
Adhesion is worse, but nothing a little glue stick can't fix.
