3D Printed Atlas

Man, i should really invest in a 3D printing machine (you up for this buddy?), i've got this idea to print replacement parts/upgrades/improvements for exisiting/vintage toys! I know shapeways does it, but it's still a very niche thing, so maybe there's a market there.



This one is very cool, didn't know it can print to fine now, from what i heard, the material is pretty tough (ABS or POM i think), but heckuva expensive.

  1. Very nice indeed ! Actually pretty good for a "home rapid prototyping machine" :P Man, surely am up for it ! But recently I read an article on 3D printing that we are actually very far away from all the hype we're reading about 3D printing - as in the quality of the parts that are printed (layered, etc) and problems on smoothing out the parts and having to use heavy chemicals etc. Maybe can source from china for a 3D printer !
