Scorpion - Modio Challenge
Figured I'd give one of those Thingiverse challenges a shot.
.
I set this up to be built with all the parts printed in 4 runs (one run per color). I went with a scorpion because It just seemed more organic then the builds with robots. They all seem to be pretty much the same with very little differences between them. I have added a version that is a tad smaller to adhere to the challenge guidelines as I'm reading through the instructions for the challenge and it does say:
.
"The objective of the Contest is to invite Thingiverse Account Holders to create and upload a creative Modio modification (“MakerBot Modio Design”) that fits within a build volume of 10.0L x 10.0w x 12.5h cm"
.
My Original dimensions were a bit large. I attached the larger version as a Zip file with the 4 trays if you still want to print it larger but the version not in the zip is the proper size for the challenge. I also add two parts to the small version that won't be on the larger version yet as it takes forever to submit through my iPhone. I'll try and recreate it with the iPad app for those who want it.
.
I found the app to be fairly useful and very intuitive. Using it on an iPhone did make it a bit of a challenge as the screen is much smaller but it didn't really slow me down much. the app is very quick and easy to pick up, even for a novice user. Their were a fair amount of parts to choose from in the App which made it much easier to use than I expected.

Model created and uploaded using the Modio app for iPad (iPhone), available for free in the App store. Designed to print well without rafts or support material. Check out Modio's website: http://modio3d.com.
