wasnt sure if people in here would be interested in 3D printing. Ive been interested in it for a good few years. The machine Im looking at is the PP3DP UP! printer from china, although Ill be buying mine from a reseller in Au or nz.

the printer gives very good detail and a relatively smooth finish so it is quite impressive, and it recently halved in price. it uses plastic to make things/parts [same stuff lego is made of].

it is also cool that you can use an xbox kinect as a 3d scanner, with software to scan people and then print them.

intent to use this at school [primary] too.
