UFO - I Want To Believe

thingiverse

This is a remix. I wanted to make it battery powered, so I modified the base to hold a battery pack and wired in a switch. Instead of buying an acrylic rod, I printed my own. I made it 10mm x 110 mm and hollow (like a plastic straw). The name plate "I Want To Believe" was printed using multi-color layers (black & white). I ended up using sheep because the cow was too big for the model. My wife is happy with it, she's the UFO fanatic! She can't wait to take it to work to show it off.
