Curious to see what you do with it.
I think the "engineering types" would really get a kick of having something like that. It's one of the great things about this hobby - it attracts many different types of people who approach it from different areas. I've met people who are in the hobby because they just like trains. I've known people who don't really like trains, they just enjoy building things. Others are into operations, others a childhood nostalgia. I am curious if 3-d print technology will attract new types of modelers or builders, or open up new areas for modeling.
I suppose I will always be a hands-on type of builder, no matter how cheap or accessible 3-d printers become.
