3D Printing WAS: RE: Sugru (moldable rubber) for ???

[Simon Claessen]

enter shapeways.com and thingyverse.com

and for modeling I use openscad. you do not draw, you program and add or 
substract cubes, spheres, cylinders, etc. and because it is procedural, 
you can nest and reuse parts of models.

and if you print with ABS, you can polish the result.
