Travis errors are spurious download errors

I believe I'm still running into this issue today. Below is the error message I receive when attempting to convert hb_made (a hexbin PolyCollection) into a Poly3DCollection. Are there any other ways to convert 2D PolyCollections into 3D PolyCollections?

ax.add_collection3d(hb_made, zs=shotNumber.get_array(), zdir='y')

@WeatherGod This needs a rebase

ping @WeatherGod is this still a going concern?

I'll close this for lack of progress...
