Harambe Buddha

prusaprinters

<p>At our makerspace, <a href="https://thelab.ms">TheLab.ms</a>, we have a pair of FlashForge Creator Pro 3D printers. They're affectionately named badger1 and badger2. We recently added a 12" MakerFarm Prusa i3 to our collection of 3D printers, and I said he needed to be named after a different animal--a bigger animal!</p> <p>The name Harambe was suggested, but the original Harambe is no longer with us, so we decided to call the new printer harambe2. Harambe2 needed a mascot, and everyone at TheLab.ms enjoys the various pop culture Buddhas.</p> <p>We knew our friend <a href="https://twitter.com/zappforthat">Steve Zapata</a> had already modeled an awesome Harambe fish when his group worked on their Ludam Dara 36 game, <a href="https://godjammit.itch.io/kmf">KMF</a> at <a href="https://thelab.ms">TheLab.ms</a>. We were hoping we could twist his arm a little and get him to fit that head onto a Buddha for us. It didn't take much convincing on our part.</p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/zappforthat">@ZappForThat</a> on Twitter</p> Category: Sculptures
