I think this is too cool.

Also, I moved this thread from the Lounge to EM Central because I know you have plans to eventually make eco-related parts with it.

"3D printing: It's not just for gas-wasting anymore!"

3d printing has to be a way for people to make small, affordable runs of parts for popular ecomodder cars. Like... smallish grille blocks or mirror delete plates or foglight hole fillers, or ???
