Over the last 2 weeks or so, I worked with Jerry Paffendorf of Electric Sheep and SecondLife future salons to capture and 3D print his SecondLife avatar, with his SecondLife 'Slegway.'
We had some success after a couple iterations, learning a good lesson about what you just can't do on a standard 3D printer. The one-piece print would have been just impossible to separate from the support material without destroying the model material, eh?
