  There you go. Porygon made completely in computer code. Here's the code listing:

  //Porygon, made with OpenSCAD polyhedrons
  
  module bodyHalf()
  {
  	polyhedron(
  		points=[ [16,31,5], [0,31,5],   [0,34,23],  [0,35,30],

  I'll be pushing this up to the Git in a bit, along with models that are good enough for printing.

• Bigger And Improved

  I'm going to be heading to the Midwest RepRap Festival in less than a week, and I wanted something to take along to combat the dexes of low-poly pokemon. This means printing an exceedingly large Porygon.

  This guy measures about nine inches from snout to tail, all printed on a Printrbot metal simple. Yes, that's larger than the build envelope of my printer, which means I am making progress towards splitting up the model into its component parts, i.e. a Porygon model made completely in OpenSCAD.

  This guy is finished with matte model paints and nail polish, with a Minwax polycrylic clear coat. Bottle cap for reference.

• Proof of concept

  I've re-created Porygon with computer code, and it looks like this model will be printable. The model needs work - specifically on the bottom of the model - but even with a drastic overhang, it looks like a big Porygon will be possible.

  No release until I clean up some files.
