The vertical line is correct, but the horizontal line is not.

This is because we can reflect the left half over the vertical line to have it produce the right half, and vice versa.

Unfortunately, the top half is not the same as the bottom half. For instance, the metal part at the bottom is not found at the top. Also the top and bottom shapes don't perfectly match.
