or a little targetmaster weapon of your own. a cassette that turns into a parrot
i wanted a short neck for g,f,b, maximus.. help him see a bit more
still saving for it...sigh
I've done some 3D printing too. It's still kinda expensive.
Beware of the 'enthusiast' printers too, they are rather rubbish. Yes Makerbot, I'm looking at you...
I'm currently trying to assemble a 3D scanner. Unfortunately I'm basically pretty stupid, so it's taking a while... Otherwise I could probably just buy a NextEngine for about $4K + shipping + import tax... screw it, I'll do it myself...
Which brings us to where we are today...
the PP3DP "UP!" 3D printer is considered to be by far the best quality hobbyist 3D printer on the market. The price recently dropped from nearly $3k to only $1500. this is the one that I am saving for. gives a good finish and 0.2mm layer resolution.
As far as scanners go, an xbox conect and some software off the net 'reconstruvtme' may be the way to go
What type of accessories for your transformers would you made for your transformers?
Maybe a weapons/engines for your new data disks?
What would you make?
Continued from the Vent thread:
So when it says it can print "Layer resolution of 200 microns." what is a 'layer'?
I get most of the models I get printed are through Moddler.com who have a resolution of:
So I remain somewhat dubious of the quality as I'm told that even the best 3D printers can't actually print detail less than 0.2mm. And even then you will need finishing skills to refine the model.Originally Posted by Moddler FAQ

As I said before, we should really start an initiative with hasbro, if we can get enough support. There are lots of possibilities. Heads, weapons, spare parts, etc.
Really good.
The model you send to the 3d printer is printed one layer on top of another. Each layer can be as thin as 200 microns. but of course it is not as simple as that. Would you be able to post a link of a picture of the stuff you get printed? perhaps with a close up?
As for models from hastak, start up sketchup and try to design your own!
