This gnome is part of the growing collection of objects we've 3D scanned with the MakerBot Digitizer Desktop 3D Scanner. Just two lasers, a turntable, and a camera generated this watertight, 3D-printable model in about 12 minutes.

The original object was designed in ZBrush by MakerBot designers, and then printed on a MakerBot Replicator 2 and painted. We then scanned that object with the MakerBot Digitizer and are sharing it so you can continue the creativity! To compare the original version with this 3D scanned version, click "MakerBot Gnome" under "Derived From".

With this STL file, you can modify, improve, or remix the gnome in any 3D modeling program just as you would any other 3D model designed on-screen.

Resize him and turn him into smaller pieces for a game or diorama 3D scan a model car, scale it up a bit, and put your gnome in the driver's seat 3D print him on a MakerBot Replicator and paint him

You know the deal. Explore, and have fun!
