Description
A friend asked me to print this from NASA's website at dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/
I cut it in half with OpenSCAD and went ahead and hollowed it out a bit - this both saves plastic and makes it less likely to warp and pop during printing so that it glues together better.

Instructions
The STL is pretty small (assuming you're working in mm). Scaling this by 1200% results in about an apple sized print. I used 15% infill.
I'm not including the original "vesta.stl" - you can get that from NASA's website shown above. It's big - about 15MB - but you don't need it unless you want to use the SCAD to change something.
