Probably going to be a totally self-indulgent thread this unless GazChap will contribute when his Tiko printer arrives. Anyway I bought one of these fantastic machines in a black Friday sale for £150.
So far I've been making an expanding menagerie of creatures for our daughter:

Including this ace pangolin that I finished last night:

I also made this RC plane. It's almost ready to fly just a bit of wiring to do really:

Starting on another plane once some more filament arrives. A big old Stearman biplane.
Also made some little bracket things to hang guitars and ukuleles up on the wall:

Loads of other little bits and pieces too.
Anyway yeah, what a brilliant toy this is. Wasn't really sure what to expect when I ordered it just on a whim but it's been loads of fun, I'm sure the novelty will wear off eventually and it'll just get used every now and then but I've had my money's worth already really.
