I'm going to hit the T key to transform it and just move it to the side and click accept. So we have two objects right now, but what if I wanted to add on one bunny to the other? So I'm going to click T, maybe rotate this bunny about 90 degrees here and move it over. So these two bunnies are in the same space. And if I exported this, they would show up as something that wouldn't be printable, since, if I click on wireframe here, press the C key, these are self intersections.
