One part of the D.21 cockpit is a fuseholder. These fuseholders were made by the French firm Ragonot, but no fuseholder is know to exist today. As an experiment, I revised and refined the 3D-model of the fuseholder, in order to print it. This is what the mesh looks like, I sent these 3 separate objects to Shapeways (www.shapeways.com).
And this is the resulting thing. Though the surface isn't perfect due to the plastic/printing structure, it is very accurate and exactly what I've been modelling. Fun to have it in your hands!
