That's mostly because GW sues anything fan related. They take their copyright protection a bit too seriously. I can understand it when people try to make money of your IP, that's perfectly normal, but throwing around cease and desist orders to fan-projects (non-profit ones that is) goes a bit to far imho.

Good thing they're not then! CCP's been pretty cool about fan stuff.

Irony, I've been thinking about buying a MakerBot for the last day so I can print off my own custom bits for my Eldar army in progress.

Originally by: CCP Whisper wtb: 1 pod. How much are these to produce?
Machine is like $900, the materials are cheap. Not very sophisticated models, they come out kinda funky sometimes depending on how the plastic behaves when extruded, but they can make some kewl stuff...

I know a future use for it!
Wait until ambulation/whatever it's called now, and then export the CCP character models and sell them!
CCP would use them as a vanity thing, while the players would use them as voodoo dolls.

Well, I tried to print the other half last night, but it didn't go well. I wont have another chance to try again until after fanfest, but in the meantime, here's a video of the first half printing.

That would be fun. I would love to have a 3D model of my characters.

If it's ABS plastic it's working with, I'd recommend you do the following:
1. Explode your model (in this case, the EVE Capsule) into 'easy' shapes. In this case, cut the model in half and those two halves into quarters
2. Remove any excess 'filling' from the model that you can and make the 'inside' surface as simple as possible for the machine
3. When it's finished with the individual pieces, remove them from the baseplate and finish using small files etc; fill gaps using any relevant form of sealant/resin to finish off the surfaces properly
4. Assemble using relevant glue - fill the interior with a reinforcing or weighting material if you feel you want it and/or it's necessarily
5. Get ready to paint it
Technically it should be very much possible for you to 'print' out any ship model in EVE - you just won't be able to do them as single-piece printouts and will have to work on a component basis.
I very much wish I could afford this machine and the materials it uses - I have many ideas for things I'd like to do with it... ---

That Raven is decent but don't EVER touch that Scorp again, it's magnificent in it's current form and even hinting at changing it would be blasphemy.

Step 3, profit.
lol.. yeah, a lot of people think the pod looks like a buttpod. I'm not a fan of the new model really. Looks too alien-like.
The pod is jovian technology so ofcourse it looks like a sex toy

I can understand it when people try to make money of your IP, that's perfectly normal, but throwing around cease and desist orders to fan-projects (non-profit ones that is) goes a bit to far imho.
I take it you're referring to the Damnatus fan film. The case in that one is actually quite solid from a legal perspective, if true. Apparentely, Germany's copyright laws work in such a fashion that the rights to GW's copyrighted properties used in the film would have transferred over to the makers of the film had it been publicly released. That's like opening Pandora's Can o'Worms.
Still, it was a crappy thing for GW to do, especially since they were contacted by the Damnatus crew at the start of production, and didn't see a reason to reply (with a Cease & Desist) until a couple of months before release. Years of work down the drain because a company is run by a bunch of greedy jerks. |

The entire film was leaked in collusion with GW employees though, which i think of as their way of avoiding German copyright law and supplying something to fans while still reserving all legal rights in the eventuality of an abuse; i.e fans making money of Damnatus.
Of/c officially Damnatus doesn't exist anymore according to the gatekeepers at GW...
