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.

curious to see the end result after polishing

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: http://www.shapeways.com/blog/archives/168-Polishing-your-Transparent-detail-model.html
