Physicists make it possible to 3-D print your own baby universe!

All, I noticed a nice article to 3d Print the cosmic microwave background that you can hold in your hand.
They show wrl and stl file and you’ll need MM11 to use them I guess. Free download!
So for those with MM11 go for it! With MM10.4 I can’t get the nice colors ..

Original paper: Cosmic sculpture: a new way to visualise the cosmic microwave background by D L Clements, S Sato and A Portela Fonseca.

Wolfram language code to get .STL file is:

Import["https://zenodo.org/record/60215/files/128_scaled.stl"]
