Could someone explain to me the function of a 3D printer?
I know what you mean.
Don't understand what it is at all.

It's like a printer, but it is 3D. It will print things in 3D. Shapes, not pictures.

What are the things made of?

Paper, wood, metal?

There are also machines that can form metal, stereolithography machines that form out of resin, and many other options. It is cool stuff.


You know you can't sell anything made with Step 1 Games copyright right?

If you intend to make any profit off these, you need permission from BS.
No I will not sell these. If I make any, I will send some to Badspot and keep some for my self.

RepRap is cool but does not currently have good enough quality to make a compelling toy. In ten years, it will be neat to see where matter printers are.

True, but a RepRap is only $300 in materials, and those machines cost thousands of dollars. We have 2 3D printers in school though, which is totally awesome.

I've done some clothcraft and knitting before, so I'll give the plushies a shot.

Ninja Edit: I'll attach the arms with durable string.
I'm not a girl for god's loving sake. So don't get mistaken with the knitting part. Got it? Okay.

get milkshape3D and just search google for a key, instead of paying, but that makes less versions come out

Is spation angry? At avi. Its red...

I wish my school wouldn't be cheap and buy a 3D printer for students to use but we still have computers running 2000 :O.
Yeah, your school is cheap because they aren't willing to use their entire budget to get a $20,000 thing they don't really need.
