Dang. Nice. Which pieces are you able to print, and which (if any) do you make by hand?

So everything you see in that pic was printed & then prepped for paint by hand. I plan on making belt pouches/etc. out of eva foam.

Awesome! The printer model you mentioned costs about $1500-1600, that sound right? I'd love to get one!
-
Yeah the Afinia H series runs right around $1600. Solid Machine. Are you a 3D modeler?
-
Nice! Yeah, I did a bit of 3D modeling in school, and have taken it up again for fun. Making something physical out of it will definitely add a cool element to it!
-
For sure! I suggest doing something small first, send it out to shapeways or one of those 3d printing services, maybe someone local. Get a print in ABS or whatever material that a machine you might be interested in will run. That'll give you a clear idea of what to look forward to in your personal prints. 3D printing is an art in it of itself. :)

That's a great idea! Thanks for the advice, you rock! Hopefully I'll have something cool to show sometime :)

Sweet! If you make/post something let me know for sure I'd love to see it brother!
