And given that 3D printers are moving into the home-users market, to the point where they're equivalent to early laser printers in price [and falling!] then before long there are going to be scads of designs to d/l. I mean, Piratebay already has a physicals category. When you think about, 3D printing model figures for games is a natural and logical extension. 3D printers are still limited to the size of the object they can make, and the material they can use. But most of the usual scale models are well within the parameters they're capable of.
I predict that companies like Games Workshop are going to see home-made 3D printed models eating their market.
