3D Printing the Vatican Observatory Logo

We recently acquired a 3d printer for the meteorite laboratory, and used it to print the Specola (Vatican Observatory) logo (shown here in time-lapse). The Vatican Observatory Foundation (VOF) is the fundraising arm of the Vatican Observatory. The Vatican Observatory Foundation website: http://www.vofoundation.org/ The Sacred Space Astronomy/Catholic Astronomer Blog: http://www.vofoundation.org/blog The Faith and Science Archive: http://www.vofoundation.org/faith-and-science To donate please visit: http://www.vofoundation.org/support-us The VOF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization incorporated in 1986 in the state of Arizona to support the scientific and educational endeavors of the Vatican Observatory, including the maintenance and modernization of the Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope (VATT). While funding for Vatican Observatory salaries and administrative expenses comes directly from the Holy See, funding for the telescope and educational initiatives is derived solely from the generous support of the benefactors of the Vatican Observatory Foundation.
