    Cool! How large can the item be? How much does the material cost? How do you program it to create objects?

        Hi Mark - think you could make a 3D Kazoo for Klaus? Still waiting for his Rach 2 concerto performance for Piano and Kazoo.

          Printed a "Galaxy Purple" Tree Frog. @brenda was thinking about your little critters when this was printing.

          The top photo captures the color more accurately than the next two. Even though the surface may look a little rough, it is actually quite smooth to the touch.

              The materials are available in a wide variety of colors. There is even a "rainbow" filament that changes colors during the printing process.

                  @brenda sorry for the crappy lighting but for sense of scale, I put it next to a house key.

                    @brenda I am going to print a papa and some babies. We will have our own little family of froggos. But without the mess of biology getting in the way. πŸ˜‰

                      We can use that image to 3D print a key to your house.

                            *Picks up microphone

                            "Brenda, on behalf of all the people at TNCR, past, present and anonymous, let me express my gratitude for all the hard and noble work you've done with the froggos. You've not only given them a save place to grow, but also provided us with many hours of (virtual) enjoyment with your pictures.

                            You are a treasure, and the froggos are grateful as well!"

                            *Puts mic back on podium and graciously steps away.

                                  I am currently printing a 200% size froggo in what is labeled as "fast color changing" rainbow filament. I don't think it is changing color fast enough for this print job. I will probably end up with a golden froggo.

                                  I took a short video of it being printed...

                                  Link to video

                                  It has about 2 hours remaining on the print job. The total print time is 6.5 hours
