PRINTING THE OWL STATUE
To print this owl model, we will download
the STL file from Thingiverse and then open
and print the file with MakerWare.
The default size of this model is quite large,
so we will make use of the scaling feature
to resize it. Scaling down the owl model will
also reduce the printing time.
1. Open a browser session and go
to http://www.thingiverse.com.
2. In the Search field in the upper right
of the page, enter “Owl statue”.
3. In the Search Result page, find Owl
statue by cushwa. Click on the title link.

4. On the Thing page for the tree frog model,
you will see a button that says Download
This Thing! Click this button.
5. In the Downloads window, in the Filename
pane, select the file treefrog_45_cut.stl.
Thingiverse will download the file to your
local computer.
6. Start MakerWare. Choose the File menu.
Choose Open. Navigate to the directory
where you stored the file treefrog_45_cut.stl.
The tree frog should appear
in MakerWare.
7. Click the Make button.
8. In the Make dialog, select the Export
to File radio button. [Fig. 9.1]
9. Click the Export! button. A dialog box will
open asking you to save the STL file. Ensure
that you have chosen X3G in the file type
drop-down menu. Save the file to an SD card.
10. Eject the SD card from your computer and
insert it into the SD port on your MakerBot
