HAHA:D I was actually thinking pure white paint scheme with some metal parts. I just love how you can beautifully weather white paint app. Edge wear, rust etc. I am gonna wait for Marauder IIC for that Jade Falcon color finish ahahaha:D
This one was just a test print. I am working on a proper high-rez version with all the details modeled in as well as every articulation included.

Cannot sell these no. Strictly recreational use only since the assets are the property of Pirahna Games. Machines range from sub-$300 to thousands of dollars. The main work is converting 3D files to be print-friendly... printing itself you can just outsource to a third-party printers for example.

Imagine our city starting to have 3d printer shop that takes order. Then all i need is to send the files and w8 a few days......
It took me 2 days to clean the models, but half a year just to slowly sticking papers with super glue
I'll leave this tiny image here so it won't dim your moment of triumph
Seriously i just want to skip to the painting now </3

Another proof that 3d printer is not needed to have mech models, only some skill at papercraft.

And only getting more inexpensive and more detailed.

One day I'll be richer than Blake and have enough money to reunite all the fragments of the IP so these models can exist commercially ... one day
Anyway the really high detail, super expensive printers are more necessary for the 6mm prints of models. 16 micron printing would be great at this scale to capture the finest details. Think Shapeways Frosted Ultra Detail or better if you've ever bought anything from them. I think FUD might be 29 micron, 16 for the Frosted Extreme Detail... but that's not really the point
It's not economical to commercially print models with that level of detail if they are much larger than 50mm in height. You can use a lower resolution print on big models, and then sand the surfaces smooth afterwards.

So far I've only explored with PLA on a Makerbot and I found that I lost a lot of detail to supports and their removal.

I bought a MakerGear 3-D printer but I'm still a newbie with it... have a goal to print 3D mechs for a IS vs. Clan chess set...
What software do you use to convert the Pak files to something the 3D printer software can read?
Much Obliged for the help!

I've used a massive SLS machine to print this in Nylon material, similar to what Shapeways call 'Frosted Detailed' material. You don't need supports when printing in SLS since parts are surrounded and supported by powder itself.
