    I did a bit of 3d printing at uni two years ago using a variety of different printers.
    It is way too expensive to be practical, unfortunately. It's cool to mess around with though!

    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.

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

    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?
