"Official" Models for Home 3D Printers

Hi folks,

I've searched the forums and found a few blueprints/fan-made models of ships like the Cobra Mk III that people have made/printed using a 3D Printer. I was curious if Frontier might consider releasing (low-resolution?) versions of some of the ships or stations in Elite Dangerous to the 3D Printing community?

I built a reprap Prusa Mendel last year and am having a blast with it.

Thanks and keep up the great work on Elite Dangerous!

nice idea, especially as you can now buy a 3d printer in the high-street, maplin are selling a kit for £700.

someone on the forum found a site that will let you upload a 3D model and they'll make it into a physical object for you ... I'll try searching for it (but don't hold your breath)

He might have his own 3D printer, but I don't have one .... and neither do a few others on this forum I suspect, and even if you do have a 3D printer, you still have to buy the raw materials for printing out.

I thought as it might be relevant, to dig up the thread I remembered,
I apologise and will never take any initiative to help anyone again
(and if you believe that ...)
