I needed to create a new meeple to replace the one we lost.
First, take a picture of the meeple.
Then, using gimp, get the black and white bitmap of the surface to use.

Then, simply import this svg into blender.
Scale the model so that it matches the original one. In our case, the meeple appears to have:
- a width of 2cm
- and a height of 0.5cm
You must convert the curve to a mesh so that it will be extruded without errors.
Finally, you get the following blender file:
And you can convert it to the following stl file, ready to be put in cura to
Now, our kid goats family has a new member.
