Has anyone made any spacecraft related models
from an "at home" 3d printer? They are too expensive
for most people (me) rolleyes.gif now but they are gradually
becoming cheaper.

Basically they allow hobbyists to design and manufacture
"at home" a plastic physical three dimensional object
from computer blueprints.

I did a bit of searching to see if anyone is
building their own spacecraft related models
this way. I found a few SciFi related things
and finally this... He has made a simple rover
model with his 3d printer.

Anyone here doing stuff that parallels what he is doing
or have link(s) that showcase other homebrew spacecraft models?

Scooters 3d model is beautiful but probably would
be far too complex to input into a home 3d printer?
