Ok so it needs to have an affordable 3d scanner as well, perhaps a couple years off...

I predict that many households will have a home 'replicator' in 5 - 10 years.

GW would not like it  :wink;m::

3d printer ~£15k-20k
Scanning software ~2k

Get 20 gamers to all chip in and it'd probably pay for itself within a year or 2!

New 3d printers aimed at the high street are coming soon ~£1.5k, they are also selling catering 3d printers for ~£2k for printing food, eg printing themed chocolates, cookies etc.

Couple years and I reckon you'd be able to pick one up for a few hundred.

Right, that decides it then. I'm making a chocolate ogre army. 

mmmmm, ogres  :cool3:

Garzini

you can get a 3d printer for £400
Charge.  Flee.  Your Turn.
