Attempt #2. Manufactured Drone comb. Somewhat of a failure (should be one solid piece instead of 2 halves).. but getting there. Depth is about 1/4 - 1/2 ".

I forgot to note before I get flailed - yes, I know the walls are a little thicker. Yes, I know some of the cells are slightly covered with wax debris (and a little dirty in places) and yes, these are not very usable in their current condition to be put in a hive (the broken edges).
My prototype machine broke before I could remove the piece, so this is what I could scavenge with my hive tool. I'm still quite happy with the results though - it almost resembles comb just having come through the uncapper.
