    Reminds me of "Where can I download a new graphics card?".

    The cup would be usable if it held water (it leaks). I'm still fine-tuning my Skein Forge settings. Right now, I'm printing a larger version of the cup which I'm hoping will be water tight. The cool thing is that I'm doing the build remotely using Logmein and a web cam to control it. There's only one Warhammer figurine on Thingiverse, but many more on Google's 3d Warehouse. I also built a 3-d scanner but I haven't even had time to start playing with that yet.

    Even if the cup isn't water-tight on it's own, you can try to coat the inside of it with something to seal it up.

    You could probably print the frame, sponsons and turret of a Land Raider pretty accurately and then kitbash the necessary details onto it.

    But will it be easier to print that out than it would be to just sculpt it?

    Oh holy shit yes. And it'll look way better if you print it.

    Everyone prints their starting mech and then the winner prints their mech standing atop the ruins of all the other mechs.

    Has anyone seen or used a RepRap? I'm very interested in this, as the dollar signs are much smaller than with Thing-o-Matic. The neat thing is that most of the parts of the RepRap can be printed on a RepRap. Hardware upgrades and replacement parts are as expensive as the generic plastic medium.

    Also, someone mentioned printing circuit boards. Some day, you might even be able to print the solar collectors to power them.
