Squeedorable is now a part of my vocabulary!!!!!!
Kikichan-78 (Catherine Hajek) had designed some SD scale fencing foils for a Black Butler cosplay and she scaled them down to 1:5 scale for ME!!!! Well, actually, it's for Horndog and Jack...

Think of it like, in Star Trek TNG, when Picard would walk over to his replicator and say 'Tea, Earl Grey, hot', and the thing would magically produce the tea AND cup. Except, replace Picard walking over to the replicator with me sitting at my computer... and the speaking part with hours of Kiki working away with a 3D graphics program... and... replace the replicator with a machine in the netherlands that will 'poop' out the item in question in only one type of material.
I just model the piece once, upload the printable file to my 'shop' run by a company in the netherlands (netherlands are plain flat out awesome) and then anyone can purchase that item. The item is then printed out and mailed (by the other company) to the person that bought it. ^____^
Only catch to this awesomeness is, the more material a model takes, the more expensive it is.
