3D Printed Stuffed Animals

This project was done as an effort to preserve my youth. I had a stuffed dog, named Ruffles. I took him everywhere. He was in a series of really cringe music videos when I was 7. I even lost him for a week and a neighbor returned him after seeing posters I put up. I still have him to this day. He's a little worse for the wear, and I don't like bringing him around as much as I did.

So I did what I do best, and I found a way to cope with my speration anxiety. We got an old xbox series kinect camera, and the USB adapter. We found some free software that would work well enough. And we scanned Ruffles. I loaded him into blender, and patched up some holes. He was ready to print. When I printed him, he was scaled down significantly, and my Arts N Thangs turned him into a keychain. Now he can go everywhere with me again!
