Looks beautiful! :-)
 

Just wait til some of us crazy artist-designer types get our mits on this stuff.

One of the things I want to do is simulate bird bones; specifically the inside. Can't tool that geometry for production.
 

Oh, at least one crazy artist-designer type already has :)

Ed, are you FDMing the pulleys too?

Vik :v)
 

Man! you should be able to feel the envy radiating off me even across the globe.
 

> Ed, are you FDMing the pulleys too?

Yup! Trying to keep that "and everything apart from the motor, bars, string and bolts is RP" sentence alive for later...
 

Ahem! Ed is too modest to say this, but when he graduated in 2005 he was one of the top three mechanical engineering students in the U.K., as he was on the 3-person shortlist for the annual SET awards.

I mention this here, because he says there are eight parts in the picture and a count fails to confirm this.

Counting is one of the skills we staff more or less take for granted in graduates with First Class Honours from Bath...
 

You mean he hasn't done some cunning tesselation and stacking to conserve plastic? :)

Well done Ed!

Vik :v)

...and he wanted to do advanced work with you. If I were in your shoes I'd be so proud that I'd be impossible to live with. :-D

What can I say, I learn from the best ;)))
