Astronomical Themed Prints

Sister site Mallyable has released a couple of interesting printable 3D models that have an astronomical theme. 
 
The Big Dipper Pendant and Constellation Pegasus Pendant both have pinholes in the same configuration as the actual stellar patterns. Adding simple string or chain of your choice makes the pendant wearable. 
 
These are not the first astronomical products at Mallyable; the Orion Pot (and lid) displays, of course, the constellation Orion on its side.

A Robot at Mallyable

Our sister site and 3D model shop Mallyable just announced a very cool new 3D model: the Sitting Robot. It's an exclusive digital 3D model of a particularly lazy robot that is conveniently sitting to permit easy 3D printing. 

If you haven't yet heard of Mallyable, it's our very own source for 3D models - that's 3D models specifically designed for 3D printing. All designs are carefully engineered to be not only interesting, but also more likely to successfuly print. 

[UPDATE] We successfully printed this little fellow on our BFB 3000, using a relatively coarse 0.5mm resolution and it looks pretty good! Perhaps we'll print it again in 0.125mm resolution to get a smoother finish.
