The T-Rex is Released

[JRDM]

OK, so Makerbot wants $15 for a digital model. And you have to add filament & machine time to build the parts.

Amazon sells a nice, 11" long T-Rex skeleton for $22, which is under half this scale. Amazon sells a 36" long model kit for $57.

It seems buying the off the shelf kit is the better way to go.

Unless you're going to build several for yourself, or if the license allows schools to make a bunch, I don't think it's worth it.

3D printing seems to be better suited for items that you can't buy off the shelf, customized objects, discontinued items or prototypes.
