DIY Minatures Coming
I've been watching the 3D printer scene. I am really looking forward to the day we are sharing Creative Commons models of miniatures with each other to print on our own printers. You can actually get one for ~$800 bucks, so the price is coming into range. The problem was with resolution.

I just saw that exact one this weekend. The guy was using it to make the parts to make a newer bigger one. It isn't going to be too long before these things are pretty common. There is already a large library of free items you can download.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait till they're at the point where we can print minis. Even custom minis!
Nice! :D
ReplyDeleteI've been producing 3-d models for years for rendering and engineering I eagerly await the opportunity to be able to afford a machine that can economically produce figures.

The future is going to be rad.
