Quote - I found a online shop for 3d prints and just for fun i put my lord zedd throne on the table just to look how much it costs.
it shows wrong modeled parts too. The price was shocking for that small sizewith different print-materials.
Btw. is it right t0at the prints have just 1 material color? I thought it would be colorful like a paper-print
There are printers, who can do multicolor prints. They use a white powder, which is colored and glued while printing, the models look and feel a bit like sand stone.
The rest of the bunch cannot print multicolor, but of course you could paint the model afterwards.
I think that most of the big shops for 3d printing do offer muticolor prints. But it's a bit pricey. To my knowledge, Shapeways and Ponoko both have color prints, other shops should have them as well. In big cities we have shops where you can get a full color "selfie" for about 200 Euros, in full color. They will scan you and send you a statue of the scan in a couple of days. But these printers are expensive, there is no Open Source version yet.
