Those who’ve been following the 3D printing of my Second Life avatar, Walker Spaight, will be happy to know that Walker has arrived safely in Brooklyn, Capital of the Metaverse, and taken up residence in the offices of 3pointD, as can be seen above. Even cooler than that, though, is the news that Fabjectory, the 3D printing service that was kind enough to fabricate Walker, is now offering to fab other objects designed in Second Life. At the company’s site in Second Life [<-- SL link] you can pick up a virtual model of a basic USB drive housing, customize it within SL, give it back to Fabjectory, and have them 3D print it for $50 - $100. Better yet, 3pointD hears that Fabjectory is working on a model of an iPod dock that will allow you to do the same thing. In any case, you can already ask them to fab any object for you, and they’ll tell you if it can be done and for how much. All very cool. Readers are welcome to submit pics of any objects they’ve had 3D printed to the 3pointD group on Flickr.
