3D Printed Sign Update: Two Years Later!

Background: In August 2018 a student was tasked with designing a numbering system for the school in the event of an emergency.   The student designed and printed a series of numbers to represent each of the classrooms to the school.   These were printed with mounting holes inside them to allow the numbers to be placed on a wire fence for an outside area.

The numbers were placed in a position that left them completely exposed to the elements without any protection from the weather.    The project is now nearing two years since it was completed.   The numbers themselves have remained in place - with the exception of one number that had a soccer ball kicked into it and it broke at one point.   The prints themselves however have shown no evidence of any damage as a result of being exposed outside, there is a little loss of colour of the filament but other than this they have remained in place and held up remarkably well.
