I made a cast aluminum and lead hammer using multiple 3D printed molds and patterns. A lead hammer is useful for 'persuading' things where you do not want to leave a mark. You simply recast the head when it needs it.

I think the noir theme came from the narrator's voice in my head every time I said the word 'hammer'... something different!
