For this project I made a 3D object using the makerbot. I decided to make a pet dinosaur, named mr dinosaur, for my mini-me so she wouldn't be lonely. I used Inventor to make the design of both the dinosaur body and the dinosaur's spikes. I then transfered the body to the makerbot to print in 3D while I sent the sopikes to the laser cutter to be vetered out of neon acrylic. After a couple issues with sizing and multiple printings (I had to play aaround so the spikes fit the body) Mr. Dinosaur is complete.

To make Mr. Dinosaur you must make an initial sketch/design that can be transferred to the makerbot. After printing the body, match the spike curve to the body's curve and print on the laser printer in 3mm acrylic. The settings for the acrylic should be 12/100/5000. After everything is printed, glue the two parts together and then you have your own Mr. Dinosaur (you might need to use tape during the gluing process to help hold the peices together so they don't move).
