Maker Faire 3D Scans: Barnes and Noble

thingiverse

These are the 3D scans for the Mini Maker Faire at Barnes and Noble from the Junior Maker Booth. Locate your model with the number assigned to you when you were scanned at the booth. For instance, if your number was 008, your scan file will be "model008.stl". To find your scan under the "Thing Files" tab, on a Mac press CMD+F and type in your number, while on Windows, press CNTRL+F and enter your number. If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print out your model. It's recommended that you scale it up to about 1.5cm x 1.5cm x 1.5cm (0.6in x 0.6in x 0.6in). Keep in mind that some support may be necessary in certain areas, but not excessively so. To generate supports, I recommend using Meshmixer, which has done an excellent job of creating removable supports for small objects in the past. If you don't have access to a 3D printer, consider using services like Treatstock or Print a Thing. For those who prefer Treatstock, one bust typically costs around $7 USD per head. When ordering multiple heads, the cost drops to approximately $2.63 USD per head, with shipping and handling adding up to an extra $4.26 USD. As an alternative, Print a Thing charges about $10.80 USD for one bust. However, if you order multiple heads, the price per head decreases to around $0.80 USD, with shipping and handling amounting to $10 USD. To print, you'll need to sign up for a free account.
