Arkhamites,

Not that anyone in the forum will run out and spend $1,300 on this little baby, but you can imagine the monsters one could create...

The Professor

I wonder if this will cause a slew of cheap miniatures to hit the market. Hell, I wonder if this will cause people to start "pirating" commercially available minis and models.

Here's a more direct link. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/388966/june-08-2011/bre-pettis

As a side note, I love H. Jon Benjamin.

If this episode is about a 3D printer, then you know what amazing things I could make with it...?

My first task would be to make new Doom figures.

Then, probably 3D obstacles and stuff for Doom. Perhaps even terrain.

1300$ is cheap. You can pool money with say ten of your friends to buy it. Imagine all the decorations for your house/games/wife/whatever you'll be able to make.

I wouldn't know where to start looking for ABS, though. Definitely not in my supermarket.
