Knight Relief Scan

thingiverse

The MakerBot Digitizer scanned a medieval stone carving of a knight on horseback obtained during a honeymoon in Quebec. Flat reliefs like this one require skillful scanning; positioning the object off-center and using watered down tempera paint enhances laser reflection. The "dark" setting was used for scanning. The original scan is available, as well as an edited STL with removed boxes and a flat back for potential horizontal printing, but vertical printing is likely optimal.
