Today’s Objet vlog post features one of the nicest 3D printed models I’ve seen from an Objet Connex multi-material 3D printer!
The ‘Ship in a Bottle’ created here features a solid bottle, 3D printed in Objet’s Clear Transparent material. And suspended within it we have our traditional sailing ship printed in Objet Rubber-like Black material. Both the black and the transparent materials are inseperably bound together. (The only way to 3D print a ship in a hollow bottle would be to include a wide enough opening to remove the support material from within - which would sort of defeat the point really. But that’s a challenge for another time. )
Printing on the Objet Connex system in 30 micron layers allows you to clearly see the incredible detail of the ship – including the minuscule spider-web-like rigging between deck and masts, the crow’s nests, railings and flag poles. Enjoy.

how much would it codt to purchase ze ship in ze bottle?
You should have let the music finish.
On the hollow bottle: the support material could be (water)soluable, so you could wash it out after the print was complete. Would only require a very narrow opening.
If the support material would convert to a gas if radiated by ultraviolet light or similar, only a small hole would be needed to get it out.
This could be used for those snow thingies as well. Only add water.
