From the very ad bar at the top of this page. the price tag is off putting but should i have a sall win on the horses or something*. I might just think about it.
*very long shot

Any comments? nothing at all..............
I thougth you guys would be into this, 70+ views so far, :confused:
-
I think you summed it up in the first post. It's cool, but beyond all of our price ranges. :-\
-
Nice discussion point though.
Such as, for that price tag, i'd want a freakin automated turntable, none of this manual rotation.
Look through some of the sample sections (The spawn model is cool) :nod:
-
Very cool, but, as everyone else said, way too pricey :sigh:

3D Scanner? Blah, I know a guy who has a 3D PRINTER

You mean a three-dimensional printer, or a printer that prints things in three dimensions? ;)
On the other hand, I can't afford it. Well, my family can, but it's not worth it. As it is, new technology becomes common technology pretty quick. I reckon it'll be pretty common in the next decade or so.

Well let's put it this way, throw in a Sathanas and out will come a replica that you can put on your shelf.
In example:

What, that Shivan thing he made?
A - I didn't know anything about that until it was done; and in fact I still don't know what that's really about.
B - this guy isn't a close friend, or even a friend for that matter. And even if he was, he would still charge money for him to use it. It costs him a ****load of money just to print something. And then it costs more money to get the thing actually made. That picture is just a master, then they make molds for a metal ship and then fill in the metal, etcetera. To make a model like that is probably 150-200 dollars US. So, same thing as whatever Goob did I imagine.
I myself might try to design some ships or something and get them printed on this thing. But again, that'll cost me a couple hundred dollars too. And unless a bucket load of people buy them it'll probably end of costing me money in the end but I'll have some of my own creations so whatever. All good.

Meh, I have a graviton printer able to print in ten ****ing dimensions. I haven't tried it yet, but it should be safe, since it only emits 3,5 Gg of gravitation.

I have an imagination, and books.

AA don't freakin boast and act the "big i am" unless it's cost effective. Cos my uncle manages a department in Chemry aviation. But i don't bloody boast. Arse.

Eh dude, what are you talking about?
All I said was "3d printer is cooler than 3d scanner" (to paraphrase)
And "I didn't know Goob was looking for a 3d printer, but even if I did it would've cost him just as much'.
Not boasting about anything. :wtf:
EDIT - or if you mean "don't say "waah, I know I guy" unless it's cheap" well whatever, you misinterpreted my saying printers are cooler rather than boasting. A person could boast that they know I guy who owns a Leer jet, but that doesn't mean that the cost of aviation fuel is going to be any cheaper. It costs what it costs, and there's no way around that. Or would you prefer I said "I know a guy who has a 3d printer and it's good because he's also a moron so he'll make models for people at a financial loss to himself, he also knows another guy who takes those printouts and turns them into molds for metal models and it's good beacuse he's a moron too and will also do things at a financial loss. So hurray, I know a guy who knows a guy and they're both idiots so I'm set up to make cheap models!" but no rather "I know a guy who works with a guy and through him you can turn your 3d model into a little metal ship or whatever you want but it'll cost this much and that's the way it is." Because it even costs something similar for the guy who OWNS the printer to make his own models.

He's drunk.

Read my diamond geezer link in my sig. He was my counter-part back in the days of old.
I like to look at youtube when i is drunked. Hard light comes up as da homepage.

I sure hope you don't start a drunken thread now. ;)

To be honest, if any of us happened to acquire one of those scanners, it wouldn't really help unless you could do a detailed 3-D model. But if you could do both then awesomness prevails.
-
In restrospect, if i got one of those scanners, i would be tempted to scan inappropriate things if i ever smoke that crap again.

Well, just don't upload it here, yeah? :drevil:
