Hello friends,

my local fifth graders are doing a series of astronomy lessons which uses this mythical artifact as a focus. The class teacher thought it would be neat to try and 3D print the artifact and let the kids actually handle it vs the print version they are working with now.

The teacher got about this far before hitting issues that prevented printing. I have done a bit of 3-D printing on my ender so I gave it a try but I wasn’t able to get even as far as the teacher did by the look of it.

Is anyone aware of any foss tools that might facilitate this or have time to help get us to a printable .stl from these 2d views? It’s not supposed to be very thick just a sort of broken disc thingy. TIA!

      Yeah, it wasn’t the best at anything, but it did a few things very easily and was simple to work with. I use it to create 3D from 2D images. To subtract 1 model from another one to create negatives, and repair some STLs.

      Things that I haven’t found a FOSS option that works as simply and quickly.
