Start-to-finish 3D printing video

It was a rainy day yesterday, so I did this:

A writeup on it is here:

You can download the resulting model for free.

If anyone has any ideas on why my imbedded video in Wordpress stopped working without reason, I'd love to hear it. It's just a URL from YouTube cut-and-pasted into the page and it worked fine last night.

:D Impressive stuff Don!

Did you freehand that dolphin model or did you use a reference?!?!?!

Also, the supports looked really good!

I drew the outlines using the Bezier tool in Photoshop (could have used Illustrator, but it was a simple path) and saved it as a JPG file and used it as a backdrop in Lightwave. Then I used it as a visual guide, but the model is 100% free hand built from a simple cube.
