How To Make A 3D Paper-Clone Of Yourself For Under $US40

There are situations in life that call for a clone. But unless you’re a mad scientist with a secret lab in your basement, a 3D paper-clone like this is the closest you’ll ever get to pulling off that insurance scam.

The whole project requires about $US40 in supplies. You’ll basically gather up all the materials, download some software, take several pictures of yourself, model your clone and build the doppleganger.

There is a detailed shopping list and guide over at Instructables which will get you through the week-long process of paper-cloning yourself. [Instructables]
