* 3D scan an object - extra credit: make the scanner
* design and 3D print an object (small, few cm) - extra credit: edit and print an object that you scanned

Printing a 3D file
With a modeled object I have done previously in RHINO I have tried a second printing with the MakerBot. The figure, more complicated, has struggled to build the inclined walls . As the figure has grown up the quality has been increased.

scanning and printing an object
I used the program scanner Autodesk 123D. The program uses the technique of photometry by placing the object in space by the location of the camera. With no reference distance between the camera and the object, it is best to put references in the environment as small objects. I have proven with a can of paint and it worked relatively well, the mesh is not entirely accurate. Once scanned with the Rhino I tried to close the screen and can export to STL. I printed the object once climbed to the MakerBot. It generates the code G-CODE from a STL file. After heating the machine starts printing monitor to create a database called RAFT. I have found that the base is removed fairly easily to leave the object clean.
