A dragon encased in a quartz crystal. I wanted to experiment with the transparent material and use the support material as a feature rather than something left over from the production process.
not sure if this fits in with the Maker Faire DIY gadgets, but I think it shows what can be done with 3dprinting in the transparent material. similar concept can be done in glass and acrylic, but with different production methods which I don't think offer as much freedom.
will need to be polished after printing, like the head space bowl:
