Whilst waiting for the kit to arrive (not due until October) I have been busy drawing items I want to print. I also visit Richards SUMPOD site several times a day to see how others are getting on and one of the items discussed there are sources of 3D models already done.

A new one to me is http://grabcad.com/home which I find fascinating since it is more of a community of engineers versed in 3D engineering models which offer their services to manufactures and designers alike. These 'customers' commission work from an online engineer by asking those interested in fulfilling their design brief to apply for the job. They advertise the spec and brief then say how much they are willing to pay and come to a deal.
