Test Penguin #1
In an earlier post, we saw the Bruce penguin being scanned at MakerBot. Now for the test – will the scan print out correctly? We decided to start small, with this three inch tall version.

Soon, we will give it a run at full power and see if we can create a perfect life-size replica!
