Wow...it's a low cost 3d printer using extruded ABS. Wonder how smooth a build it can make?
Very intriguing...thanks for posting.

Yeah, some high res photos of the results would be nice. If you don't have fine details, you can probably use sandpaper to smooth it out (i never worked with plastics), but for warhammer type of detail that would be a no-no.
