Print Your Own Google Glasses with a Free Model From Makerbot Thingiverse

Unless you are a celebrity like Neil Patrick Harris or a notable video game designer like Cliff Bleszinki, you probably won’t have a chance to empty your pockets on a pair of Google Glasses.

Bu why pay $1500 for the real thing when you can print your own Google Glass imitation? Some time and access to a 3D printer will produce these plastic Google Glasses that look just as great and can fool most at first glance. Be sure to walk around pretending to talk to your new device to make the appearance even more convincing.

You can download the 3D model from industrial designer Joris van Tubergen at Makerbot’s Thingiverse site.
