In this instructable I will try my best to show you how to design and 3D print the red Angry Bird.  The software I used to design the bird is SolidWorks 2011 and the 3D printer is a Dimension 3D printer.  I tried making a video which would explain better the steps to design the video but it ended up being 27 minutes long and I could not edit it.  So instead, I took a few snapshots on how to design it.  If you have any question please comment and I would really appreciate your vote for the make it real contest.

After everything is drawn you are now ready to print.  You can upload the file from step 1 to http://www.shapeways.com/ and get it printed.
