As Chris says, You draw what you want in a CAD program then convert it into a file the printer can read. The simplest way to explain it is; a 3d object is sliced into very thin layers in a program then the printer just prints hundreds of 2d pictures on top of each other. The print nozzle melts...

Hi Tony, I have a 3D printer, if you send me the file I'll have a go at it for you. Cheers, Mike.

132 pages in and I would like to join the mark iii thread having very recently purchased my first full frame. Slowly going through the manual and looking for some appropriate lenses...spending more time looking for lenses if I'm honest trying to get a feel for second hand prices...they're all...

I grew up at Bootle hockey club at weekends and there's nowt posh about where I live despite all the golf that occurs. :)

Cheers Daniel and Phil, I agree with you both there will no doubt be features I don't need or ever use on new kit but it's good to hear it from those that know. The mark iii has arrived :) and I have all my old kit listed below. Canon 400D Canon EF 50mm 1:1.4 Ultrasonic Canon EF 100-400...

Thank you all for your replies, it's very encouraging and appreciated. I haven't ever shot a video....it seems now you can't avoid having the capability when upgrading to this decade and still have a great full frame camera so obviously I will try it but can't think of anything I want to film...

Rather than lose a load of money selling your lenses, get a newish mirrorless and a suitable ef adapter for the body as mentioned earlier. You can then get used to your new body and decide if it's worth getting new glass at a later date. I'm in a similar situation and am going round in circles....

Thank you all for your welcome, I'll try and not get hung up and am looking forward to relearning/up dating some of the theory and kit advancements that have occurred but it's really confusing. When thinking of updating the camera body there is always something just that little bit further...

Thank you Chris, Cheshire is where I need to retrieve my equipment from and it will be a good while before I offer up some pics but look forward to thinking I have something worthy :)

Hello Everyone, Its Saturday evening and thought I would introduce myself before dipping into the forums. I'm looking at getting back into a bit of photography and learning (re-learning) how to spend hours with equipment that isn't affordable. :) Popped into a local camera shop whilst waiting...
