Wondering what you guys think of the whole 3D Printing for models? Ive been looking on Shapeways website lately and its got me thinking, maybe I should start making some HO scale construction detail parts that arnt readily available on the market.
Have you guys bought anything from the Shapeways website before and if so, how did you like the models?
Any of you have any experience in creating 3D models? What would be a good program to use? Ive been experimenting briefly in Sketchup, but am not able to learn it very easily when it comes to trying to make a scale model of something in the program. Ive watched a couple tutorials and got the basics down pretty well i think, but I dont quite understand all the layering and such when it comes to making shapes that need to overlap other shapes or be on top of one another. Ill have to keep messing around with it, but was just wondering what you all thought of the whole 3D printing thing when it comes to models for our layouts?
