Ever see Maker Magazine? you might be able to find some very cool ideas from this source. You can order a subscription or you can access their magazine online. They have been talking a lot about ideas for the 3D printer – so you might want to check them out.

On a side note – in his scifi book, Makers, Corey Doctorow uses the 3D printer a lot as a big part of the story line (free online or you can buy in print). I haven’t had a chance to finish it but it was pretty interesting (free download on your iPhone/iPad). Doctorow, a Canadian author believes in copyright free – hence the free availability of his works. I really liked his Little Brother book.

Hope this helps
Cheers
Cat:)
