Any industrial site needs oil drums and up to now I'd just had the one shape, made out of 35mm film pots which are the right size for 16mm.

I decided I fancied doing one of the more corrugated designs which would make an interesting bit of variety. I modeled the shape up in CAD (nice wiggly line rotated) and then printed the drum out on the Wanhao D7.

A coat of red oxide and it looks the part.

At the same time I printed two different models of crows off the Thingyverse. Scaled to 16mm these are pretty damn small. I tried them in a couple of orientations and need to be a bit more careful with the support structure because the I broke the feed off one when I tried to remove it. I suspect if I want the legs modeled then I would better off using some fine wire. Not planning a 'murder of crows' yet.
