3D Printing A Zero-X?

I've just watched The Gadget Show's piece about 3D Printing. The idea of everyone printing objects at home is fascinating! Parts, spares, gifts, moving objects and toys are all printable in 3D it would seem. Amazingly the new Skyfall even includes a 'printed' model of the Aston Martin DB5 shown below mid-process!

There are problems though for the everage Joe like me: copyright, cost, materials, skills, functionality. Could I really 'print' a complete Zero-X toy one day? Has anyone any experience of 3D Printing?

  1. 3D printing is fascinating, indeed! Through additive manufacturing, you can make your imagination into reality. Sooner or later, there will be edible 3D printed stuff. I can’t wait to taste them all. These are on my list—to 3D print foods like chocolates, candies, cookies and macaroons. I have already tried 3D printing coffee cups and tumblers made up of this 3d2print's 3D2PRO series Taulman T-glase clar http://www.3d2print.net/shop/product/taulman-tglase-clear/. No worries because it is FDA approved.
