They're fab!
I've been telling myself and people who know me that I'm not gonna buy a 3D printer as in no way do I need one, or have any practical use for one.
However, I love making stuff and I did squeak a little when I saw your fantastic models. I can't. I'd never get through my friends gloating if I do. So if I do get one, I'm blaming you Jettu lol.
Please make more and keep showing them here. I love this stuff.

Ha, thanks!
There is no need to own your own printer.
All my prints are done on the big industrial sized 3D printers, these colored prints are printed (in color) using a Zcorp 650, not your average cheap desktop 3d printer.
The prints themselves didn't cost me more than $10 per ride.
(if you're interested, have a look at www.shapeways.com if you ever want to 3D print something on industrial sized 3D printers from plastic to gold)

I'd love to see this sketchfab model 3D printed. [big grin]

Well I'm not after me making money on their assets, but would rather get them to sell it.
Not sure if you've heard about Kerbal Space Program?
A few years ago I reached out to KSP and asked them if they are interested in 3D printing their "kerbals".
https://www.shapeways.com/shops/kerbalspaceprogram
I explained them how the process works, users (anyone!) can set up a shop on Shapeways and sell their 3D models.
Shapeways will do the printing and shipping to customers.
On top of the production costs (that go to Shapeways) the shopowner (Kerbal Space Program in this example) can add markup which Shapeways will pay to the ShopOwner.
So if something costs $5 to print and the owner wants to get $10, the customer will have to pay $15 to Shapeways, which will then be split and the shopowner receives his share ($10).
KSP was enthusiastic about it and opened a shop, getting them some more revenue.
Hopefully Frontier would make that step in the future too
It's a nice way to sell some 3D printed merchandise without having to do anything (except for uploading the 3D files and add markup to the products)
