First 3D Print!

Brook Simonson (http://bascad.blogspot.com) and I made a little mushroom in Inventor to practice printing on. The whizzing and booping of the 3D printer was mesmerizing to watch to say the least. The bad thing about printing (if you're impatient like me) is that, it not only takes over an hour for something to print, but it isn't always reliable as one would expect. Also, to avoid screw ups in the printing process you should try to avoid too steep of curves.

Attempt 1.
 Attempt 2.
 Attempt 5. Finally, it worked!
