Good finds. I figured there was probably some out there, but I was
thinking more of a complete set with a ridiculous attentiveness to get
as close to the originals as possible, including old versions that
aren't sold anymore.
My Cupcake may not have micron resolution, but like the universal
construction kit it would be more for the awesome printers we'll have
down the line.
I guess I just really want my own printed version of Mouse Trap :-D

your makerbot accurate to the micron? :- )

What I really want to print once my Prusa is finished, are these

Their discussion on the legal issues is pretty interesting.
I've been
wanting to recreate 3D models of board game pieces for a while
now,
and from their work it looks like it's legal so long as the
patents
are expired (over 20 years). Given that Monopoly (along with
the game
pieces) was patented back in 1935, it looks like that might be
a good
first candidate.
Now does anyone know where I can find an optical comparator to
make
sure the models are faithful to the original down to a few
microns?
