I've had my first taste of 3D printing at my University back in 2004, when the University got one of the first printers and I was first to design objects to use in our wind tunnel.
Since then i've kept up on it, but it wasn't until about 2 years ago i got my own personal printer an M3D Micro mini-printer. limited to 4 cubic inches of build space, many designs had to be further cut and modified by me to print the build space, but that didn't stop me. Below are a few of the cosplay/props I made while learning to use this new machine.

Once I got a taste of the other bunches of things I started making, i really wanted to focus on props and cosplay, so I upgraded to a Anet A8 printer, and Prusa I3 knockoff from china. For $180, I figured I'd give it a go and see what this can do. Well After 18 months, and nearly 10 Kilometers of filament extruded through it, these are some of the items I've built. Here are some of my bigger builds:
Ironman MK3 Helmet:
Test Fit!
Magnets and Soft Hinges
Real Carbon Fiber Reinforcement
Sanded Smooth.
Primer and FacePlate Paint Complete
First Coat of Red
Had to make a display for it as well:
