Instructions
This Gel Boat set is available for purchase on Shapeways at:
shapeways.com/shops/labsfromfabs
I intend to continue releasing my stuff to the public domain, but will also stock it in this shop for those without printers.
Note: I also resized the .stl files, according to Shapeways the boat should now be 95mm long.
Because I have no Makerbot yet, this model is in no way tested, and is probably completely the wrong size. I would love to see it printed by someone, and if resizing was required please give me copies of the resized object to replace these ones!
The Gel Rig I use in the lab has a boat 10cm x 8cm, which should just fit in the Makerbot. I didn't size this one very carefully, sorry.
