I want to be able to buy customizable digital versions and print myself.
This is the future.

I mentioned this idea in a thread about FLGS's months ago. Bastards beaten to it again, then again I've been doing my research since then - they better be using a stereo lithographic 3D printer, extrusion won't cut it for detail. B9 is the first crop of affordable SL printers and version 2 of an open source SL printer is due very soon. Build skill for v1 is rated at a 7/10. Aaron Edit: Ooooh they're using shapeways . . . which I believe has a 3 month backlog due to demand. BUT the patent of their tech expired this year . . . so expect more companies like to surface. maxinstuff : a 3D scan of your face is easy and the tech is cheap . . . and, yes, it can scan your knob too . . .

Ok then, you scan your face and I'll scan my bell-end.
