Hello all,I've been looking and looking at the beautiful 3D models NASA has posted. Has anybody actually managed to get any of them printed? We might be getting a 3D printer at work, and I'd love to see the results, or hear any lessons you might be able to share.Thanks,Jeff
Added features and cleaned up model (hatches are now rounded).

I believe I'm officially finished with my model. As a reminder it can be found here. These are the different versions that are available.
Live 3D Printing demoWe have a new printer that we are in the process of calibration; we had our first day with the new printer operating on Thurs. Jan. 17th. Current plans have a window of late this afternoon (Friday Jan. 18th. thru Sat. pacific US time) Next in the planned calibration process is to print a “model”. We have chosen Manboys SpaceX capsule to be printed. Also expect video problems as this will be my first time broadcasting to Ustream @ http://www.ustream.tv/channel/threed-printing

Anyway which version do you guys plan on printing and at what size?
