Lots of neat stuff in our scale here...

3D printing comes of age.  Now if they can get the cost down to $4.25 instead of $425 they'll  have a viable business

 

Recall that in 1995 I had to pay $100 per MEGAbyte (yes, MEGAbyte) of RAM memory...

Lots of figures, including an abnormal amount of women in various states of dress....someone had alot of time on their hands it seems

And some design and technology doesn't advance much.

 

Try buying this for use as a nose weight...

And apologies to those outside the UK ebay network for a potentially duff link.

 

And, no, I don't have that kind of extra cash!

Awesome catapult and I have a ton of uses for it but at that price - I'll be passing

 "matte finish and slight grainy feel."    Well I hate to be the hair in the pasta but ...this ain't going to look good under a coat of paint,difficult to sand smooth(nylon).   all for 425.00?

Interesting you'd say that. I just discovered that the 8GB DDR RAM cards (I bought 2 for $31 each, but need 4 altogether), have gone up to $65 each, and I'm not happy about it at all.

I would like to see the buyer face in front when will find the super-rrrrrrough surface of "White Strong & Flexible",

[98Wrangler 286]

One step at a time, so eventually a better media will be found and cost "may" decrease to an affordable level.

 

But at least someone is trying.

If it were equivalent to 1995 prices, that 8GB chip would run you about $1,240,000.00 apiece.

I dont know the first thing about 3D printing, but I imagine within the next 10 years or so it'll change a lot of the way modeling can be done...maybe that dream of a 1/32 Su-34 kit or conversion could become a reality

[ollieholmes 236]

That Catapault looks tempting but id have to save like mad. Has anyone else seen the 3d printed Flettner fi helicopter kit? Its in like 1:18th scale or something odd.

[onosendai 494]

I see that many here on the forum/thread don't understand, White Strong & Flexible is the worst possible 3d material for us modellers.
