Welcome to the reality ;)

yeah the thin blades had to be treated well this is the reason i took them out of the fan casing for printing. it cost £100 just under 5inches from nose to rear. i used 3dcreationlabs really great service.
Frenchy Pilou: yes reality i used to work in a product design studio and we had several types of rapid prototyping machines so im lucky to have seen more than one of my designs come to life. this hover speeder is the first one to come out of my own pocket though so its more special :)

Absolute excellence!
It would be so cool if the hobby of modeling can be turned into a hobby of affordable
model making!
Seeing that the fan blades came out okay is a great indication that the process is mature enough now to seriously consider doing something like this.
It would be great if you folks could
list somewhere here the fab houses that you're using so we all could perhaps experiment a bit with having things created from MoI models!
What would be even cooler is over time having MoI's gallery filled with pictures of
physical models instead of just digital images like most others! ;-)

I'm still kind of blown away by how good the prices for this stuff have become.
It does not really seem like too long ago that it would be more like 5x to 10x as much.

Very nice! It's difficult to see from the photo, but was the RP output "ready for primetime"?
I've had instances in the past where output from say, a Viper needed to be treated before the model was considered ready for paint.
Thanks,
Chris
