Just for reference, this is a render I made of the object, illustrating a possible use for it as a digital, or 3d printed asset, as I mention near the end of this video.  I would expect a 3d print of this nature to be costly, but if you make it thick enough to hallow out, it might not be that bad, depending on the scale.
