3D Printer/Printing thread

[morg176]

what would you make with a 3D printer? [and the obligatory 3D modelling skills]

[morg176]

what would design and make on a 3D printer? better weapons for your favourite figure, a shield? your fav starship?

what have you always wanted but could never make, till now?

Impossible to find replacement parts for those no longer in production items perhaps?

[morg176]

or a little targetmaster weapon of your own. a cassette that turns into a parrot

[Slag]

[morg176]

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...
