Funded! 3D Modeling and Printing a Historic Type Matrix

Thanks to a few dozen people, my brief and modest campaign for creating a detailed model of a Monotype Electro Display Matrix and producing 3D prints—and widely distributing a digital 3D model file for study and reproduction—has funded just now!

I’ll be posting updates to the campaign over the next few weeks and months as it moves along in phases. I’ve already sent out two matrices, one to each of two 3D scanning/modeling firms, for them to create the preliminary model that I can use for testing and refinement, or, if lucky, for the final 3D print!
