OK, so a while ago and number of the Hutt City Library Staff and I tackled the huge task of printing the magnificent Discovery Model (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:950664) that was created by metaform3d (https://www.thingiverse.com/metaform3d/about). In my opinion, metaform3d’s model is one of the best designed 3D printing models I have ever come across. I learned a lot about good design from working with this project. Anyway, I was keen to print off the EVA pod that also featured in the same films (2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010 Odyssey 2) as a separate project. I had seen a number of models on Thingiverse, but they were just the an STL version of the model that has been circulating around the web since the Internet was created. I see that some people have succeeded in printing them, but the digital model is very poor quality and for most slicing programs, not printable. It was also fairly low polygon.
