I scanned this bust of Ludwig van Beethoven using 123D Catch on my iPhone 5S. This scan is of the bust I used for the blog post "Wireless Light Switch or Bust". The head of the full size bust flips back revealing a button that turns on and off my workshop lights. This scanned miniature's head is stationary...for now. At 20% infill this bust prints without raft or supports in about 2 hours on my Makerbot Replicator 2X.
