Forget the Oven. This Turkey Roasts in a 3D Printer

Here at Mashable, we decided to celebrate Thanksgiving a day early by roasting our very first 3D-printed turkey.

We found the design in 3D model store CGTrader, scaled it down to two inches tall and inserted it into a MakerBot Replicator 2. The whole process took about an hour and a half — less time than it takes for your average traditional turkey roast, but nothing to squawk about.
