    I made a remix to the Celtic Skull for the Haunted House I'm working with.
    Flatten it out a little and add a hole to mount it to a glow necklace.
    I ended up with a really cool side effect. The walls are thin enough that the glow necklace illuminates the eyesockets!

    Here is the link to it on Thingiverse. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:135351

    I also tried it out in a few different materials and machines including my Robo.

    The three in the center are 100 micron glow in the dark green Afinia ABS on my Makerbot Replicator with Sailfish. Sliced with Skeinforge 50.

    The one in red is colorfabb Traffic Red PLA/PHA on my Robo3D at 100 micron. Sliced with Slic3R.

    The one in Orange is colorfabb Dutch Orange PLA/PHA on my Ultimaker at 80 microns.

    Of the 3, I feel like they all turned out quite well. I will admit that I ran the robo much slower than the other two.

    I consider the Ultimaker to be my best printer. Of all the prints I've seen online, the prints off the Ultimaker have always seemed the best to me by far. It is a little finicky and quite a bit pricier than the Robo though. So, the fact that the Robo can produce reasonably close results is not too shabby!

    I saw this on the "What's your best print" thread and didn't quite realize what I was looking at. I honestly assumed it was a hot glue stick you were using to balance them. >_< Pretty sweet!
