Description
I was listening to CBC while playing with Dolf Veenvliet aka macouno's new ShapeWright service, so I generated a ship using "CBC Radio" as the DNA and printed it.
You can make your own ship at shapewright.com and read a bit more about the service at blog.ponoko.com/2011/09/28/shapewright-generates-3d-models-in-your-browser

Instructions
Print with support material. You can do so in ReplicatorG by editing your Skeinforge raft settings to "use exterior support".
(If anyone has a Thing-o-matic MK7 dual extruder with PVA, I'd love to see what that looks like on a ShapeWright print!)

This is great!
What process did you follow to get the print ready? I tried downloading the VRML file from the site, but Meshlab did not like it - it found all sorts of errors.
For my ship I used Blender to import the .WRL and export it as .STL. (And then scaled it down in RepG.)
I just tried loading the .WRL in MeshLab, and it gives me errors like you. But in addition to Blender, this online X3D/VRML converter works without issue, so maybe it's a MeshLab bug? http://doc.instantreality.org/...
