Squirrel and Dayton Appear at 3D Print-A-Thon

There has been a lot of hype about 3D printers in media over the past while. Of course the Squirrel Project has a couple of 3D printers so was invited to the Ottawa 3D Print-A-Thon. The event was very successful. I presented the idea of using 3D printers to perfect the propellers. Of course many fans of the Squirrel Project showed up and a couple of keen kids made a couple planes. I cooked up a Dayton myself.

Sparrow Packaging

I packaged some Sparrows in Squirrel packaging 3″ packaging. They came out really nice but it’s really hard put together. The shapes of the pieces are different and this makes it very tricky to get them into the packaging using the Squirrel technique . I mean hard. Like rocket science.

So I tried it with 4″ packaging. Works like a charm! It goes together very easily and looks even better. I’m very pleased.
