          What printer did you get? And what programs are you using? And what do you think of the process/results?

                Hello. I went with the Monoprice Delta. Nice price and great results for the cost. I do 3D modeling in an oldie but goodie. Truspace 3d and a little in Raydream Studio 5. I think PMWasson is right. I think you get the best results if you and print the object as two parts and glue them together. Or print the object in pieces and glue them together like a model. Right now I'm just trying to make stand-in accessories for the expensive vintage accessories I cannot afford to buy off ebay. But soon I hope to start creating custom accessories for all those Super-Heroes we wished for but never got from Mego.
                I said it before. For customizers these 3d printers will be a game changer!

                  3D print the man some pants, for God's sake.
