Last year as a festival goer with a camera I could get to the front rail but was then stuck with one angle to shoot from. I can also use the images for Stock Photography. Agencies will not accept images without accreditation.

I started with SketchUp but it did not produce usable files so I switched to tinker CAD which is easy to use. I then use Slic3r to covert the shapes to printer gCode, Pronterface to control the printer and a web interface to run the gCode. No webcam. I got the plastic filament from colorFabb in the Netherlands.

How easy was it to input the design? Is there any webcam image to control file converter? Was the plastic easy to obtain?
