Harambe Buddha

At our makerspace, [TheLab.ms](https://thelab.ms), we have a pair of FlashForge Creator Pro 3D printers. They're affectionately named badger1 and badger2. We recently added a 12" MakerFarm Prusa i3 to our collection of 3D printers, and I said he needed to be named after a different animal--a bigger animal!

The name Harambe was suggested, but the original Harambe is no longer with us, so we decided to call the new printer harambe2. Harambe2 needed a mascot, and everyone at TheLab.ms enjoys the various pop culture Buddhas.

We knew our friend [Steve Zapata](https://twitter.com/zappforthat) had already modeled an awesome Harambe fish when his group worked on their Ludam Dara 36 game, [KMF](https://godjammit.itch.io/kmf) at [TheLab.ms](https://thelab.ms). We were hoping we could twist his arm a little and get him to fit that head onto a Buddha for us. It didn't take much convincing on our part.
