I'm getting better at this: This is a pice of art that's at Stanford. It was a scan done by Matter Port, who requested a print.

I used the Up 3d printer at Noise Bridge hacker space in the Mission (San Francisco). There are several 3d printers there, such as a Maker Bot Cupcake cnc, and 2 or 3 Repraps. I also learned to make ABS liquid by mixing disregarded (abs) parts with acetone, then smearing it on the print plate.  Certain printers use a tape film, which can work (but didn't this time).

Also played with a vinyl cutter, but that's for another day!
