3D printed accessories

[DELTAprime]

There's a person in Gladstone with a 3D printer that they will allow you to print on (for a fee). So I was thinking of getting some accessories printed for my Transformers. Mostly guns for toys like FoC Soundwave that never came with one. Anyone know where I should start for finding files to use?

I don't know that there would be many designers sharing the original files. But you know about Shapeways, right? There are many hundreds of upgrades on there ranging from heads, guns, wings, etc. they will print fora fee in a range of colours and plastics. Many designers on Tfw2005 sell their work there. Visit Shapeways.com, and there are a few threads about in on the ozformers site

If you can get your hands on originals, you would be better of doing a mold and casting them in resin.
