New for 2013, North Pole Inc. introduces their latest model turbo jet engine sleigh, the Santa 1. Now you can own the very same model sleigh that Santa uses himself personally every 24th of December!

Some of the new features for 2013 include, increased matter compression chest size, up from 10^6/1 to 10^9/1. That means more presents for you.

- Integrated support fill material with .0265” gapping. PLA filler(water soluble) ABS for part construction.

- Moveable steering wheel via “miter” styled gear, ski pivots on hinge

- Functional presents chest, able to hold items, small items, think tic tac.

- Attachment loop for hanging option.

- Original concept design, the sleigh shell was built using surfaces.

UPDATE*

So I wasn't aware that shapeways only prints in one material without the option for support structures. No worries, the design can be reworked to not use support material, however, the overall form and detail of appearance will change somewhat. Timeframe for rework. A few days. Still a totally viable option for this competition )). I am going to leave the design as it sits--Won't make deadline with the necessary changes.

Thanks for looking-
