What is the geekiest thing you can make using 3d printed parts?

ipv1
ipv1 over 10 years ago

I have been searching the net for some crazy ideas that can exploit the capabilities of a 3D printer. So far I have seen a glados lamp that is geeky and useful. There is also some lamp shade ideas and then there are models of star trek stuff.

Any suggestions on tables top stuff that will rock minds?

If it uses motors and/or leds its better Relaxed

    Another 3D Printer. Bonus points if you 3D print the stepper motors.
