Normally I'd always want my models to be tournament-worthy (i.e. at least 50-75% Citadel), but you know - I think if I could make awesome stuff with that machine (and also finally bring myself to learn 3D software better in the process), I might want to save up to buy this some day. Basically it's a $2,000 machine that lets you build bloody *anything*, as long as you design it through their 3D software first. Then you hit 'print', and it's created within a relatively quick amount of time.

So are any of you guys familiar with this? Do you think it could make relatively detailed stuff - at least for sake of Imperial Guard tanks which tend to be boxy anyway?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822628.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822628.page GMT Re:Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing? Id be surprised if you couldn't at least make tanks with this thing, if not the smaller troops. That said I would caution against using this machine for anything other than personal use (copyrights and all that) at ~2.5k though it wouldn't be a bad investment if the detail work was good enough.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822641.page GMT Re:Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing? 40k urban battles.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822729.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4822729.page GMT Re:Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?

Exactly - it would only be for personal use, nothing more. Though one wonders...maybe we should try and find someone that has it already and ask them to try, lol.

Buildings? ...good lord that IS a great idea! Chances are we can whittle down whatever it makes for detail work anyway....great thinking sir!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4823869.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4823869.page GMT Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?
But Terrain should be viable with the current technology.

P.S. it is called a 3D Printer

As long as you create the model on your own there is no copyright infringement. GW sentinel is copied from Star Wars to begin with.

slightly cheaper one that could work for most things, especially if only printing the parts and then assembling]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4824885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4824885.page GMT Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?(New 3D Printer) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4824949.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4824949.page GMT Re:Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?(New 3D Printer) http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4825758.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4825758.page GMT Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?(New 3D Printer) If you're handy with a soldering iron, buy the rods and circuitry, and get a set of the brackets from someone in your area who has one already.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4825847.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4825847.page GMT Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?(New 3D Printer)
I wonder, would it be easy to file down whatever you make so that everything looks smooth and not 3d-printed after the fact?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4831432.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4831432.page GMT Do you guys think it's possible to make 40k-esque models with this Replicator thing?(New 3D Printer) 40k sprue if thats what ur going for.... if your printing them whole then thats another story]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4831441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/479452/4831441.page GMT
