Q*bert and Rudolph the red nosed Q*bert

thingiverse

I'm remixing a fantastic design by ParonoidAndroid and importing it to Tinkercad with a clever twist - adding a hole in his back to snugly fit a tiny Christmas light. This project is a gift for Jeff Lee, the ingenious designer of Q*bert, who's also my friend. I haven't printed it yet, but I might need to adjust the hole size for a better fit. If the hole is too big, just wrapping some tape around the light will do the trick. For a stunning effect, print it in vibrant Orange filament and bring out the eyes with a dash of nail polish. I took the top part from Bsturg85's outstanding Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer design and cleverly placed it on his head. To complete this charming look, paint the eyes with white and black nail polish, the antlers and hooves in earthy brown tones, and of course, his nose in a bold red. I'm grateful to the Brookfield Public Library in Illinois for their exceptional 3D printing program, particularly Frank Murray, president pro tem of the club, who kindly allowed me to use the old Makerbot and MP mini select. I learned most of my 3D printing skills there, thanks to their expertise and generosity.
