Home 3D Printing of model parts

:?: Gents, today I moved a step up technology ladder and have purchased and used a 3D printer.
That should keep the old grey cells active. :!:
I have started with a simple design of 80 seats for a Quint set which have come out well and I wondered if anyone else has set out down the same path, or is it a lonely furrow I tread?

Cheers
Geoffrey

Indeed many of my N gauge locomotives have been produced on my B9Creator at home (many more via Shapeways though). Here are a few done on my own machine running on adapted rtr chassis.

With thanks to Tony Wright for taking the photograph of 'Yorkshire' and to the Scarborough club for kindly letting us use 'The North of England Line' as a backdrop.
