Tardis

Description
UPDATE: I added tardis_scaled.stl which is a little larger, giving it some better definition and I also hollowed it out so the print didnt use so much plastic.
UPDATE: Makerbot now sells blue plastic, if anyone prints this in blue, please post!

Printing on the inside - hmmmm...
How about building something like a "Inverted Mendel", so that the extruder points outwards instead of into the build space, and wire all the Steppers backwards - then the printer could build things bigger than itself!
Of course, once the print job was finished, your printer would be trapped insi
de the printed object ...
(Should be possible to get it out using a Sonic Screwdriver or similar: http://www.thingiverse.com/thi... )
Don't you just add another stepper motor for the extra dimension ;-)
knowing that the doctor is a big supporter of the reprap project, he'd probably be glad to give you the updated firmware for 4th dimensional printing

Does any one know how to dye the ABS before/during/after extrusion? just curious, because a blue one would be really sweet.
You can color incoming white filament with sharpie. You have to get it pretty dense to have the color come out dark (or else it will become sort of light blue)
Sweet... but too much detail got lost. Can you export a bigger model to STL?
Also, what's the license?
Ah; but the real question is , can we get the makerbot to print the _INSIDE_ of the tardis.
I for one would like a repstrap that can print into multidimensional subspace manifolds.

Print it to be bigger on the inside? :)
You have to find the Doctor for that.
SWEET.
Here it is!!! Thank you for uploading this!

I've reduced the number of polygons in the STL and am trying to print it now...
I can't wait!!!
DUN NUN NUN NUN NUN NUN NUN NAH DUN WOOOOO EEEE WOOOO WOOOOOOOO WOOO E WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOO
Great!
About time someone modelled a TARDIS, perfect for someone with blue filament for a RepRap
Note the old Tardis fits inside the new one...i.e. "bigger on the inside" :-D
