Our featured creator does 3D printing. Have you ever? (Share a pic)

I bought a cheapish printer several years ago and printed everything under the sun. It's been mostly idle for a few years, always with some fixable but annoying thing that I caused by trying to upgrade it. I fix that, print a while, break it again, and a few more months go by. Maybe the coolest things I printed were for my wife at the time, who is a classicist and history teacher. This is the Gayer-Anderson cat, a Bast(et) statue found in an Egyptian graveyard, now in the British Museum. She is very nearly life-size (the original is about 31cm, I think, and this one is maybe 28 or 29). She sits on my ex's desk "to judge the students."
