Gents,
I am currently working on a homemade "Reprap" 3D printer.
A reprap is a 3D printer capable of making plastic parts of your own design. These devices can be built in your home or garage.
Check out their main site here: http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page
The reprap project is open source and full of helpful "do it yourselfers," just like you find in the RC Plane community.
I believe the two hobbies go together great! DIY 3D printing can be used for all manner of RC parts!
Check out these fun videos about reprap and other reprap spin-offs (maker bot etc.)
