Um, interesting.
Yeah, I've always felt a bit cheated when it comes to physical models of figures, poses are crap and you can never get the figure you want.
Now that this printing is available I thought "lets look into It"
I found this company. which looks quite promising.

But I want to get a good figure done before approaching them.
The file needs to be saved in an stl format, which I think, I found a converter for obj to stl.
(on me laptop somewhere)
It's my best mate's 40th Birthday in 6months, and he enjoys flight sims and physical modelling.
So I'm half way through modelling him a half and half fighter aircraft, that I was going to get printed (in a kinda kit form, with several parts) along with a figure for myself.
There isn't a problem with the aircraft as there are no moving parts, no bones.
But the figures are proveing to be more of a problem.
I may end up doing it the long way and saving as 3DS and then removeing the triagulations manually.
Thanks for the input ,
and any more idea's are welcome.
