Looking at the Flashforge Creator Pro at the moment. It's a clone of the Makerbot Replicator 2 with a few upgrades like a heated bed, dual extruders and a metal platform for a stabler bed. http://www.ff3dp.com/#!creator-pro/cgxl
Either that or an Ultimaker 2, the print quality on that is insane, though so's the price

Filled the first run but I'll add you to the reserve/ second run list
Onto an update. Got easily enough interest to do a run of these so am converting the solid model into kit form. Started on the main body, added a hollow below the vents big enough to house electronics and lights. The wall thickness blocking the vents is a millimeter so should be easy to drill/file out if you want to add lights. Added some indents in the battery cylinder to glue in the magnets that'll keep the battery in place, and a smaller hole behind it so you can solder to magnets and use them to hook the actual CR123 housed in the battery to the electronics. Finally, the holes and extrusions on the side should make it easy to line up and glue the two halves of the body together.

If anyone has any idea/requests for this piece, just ask
Would It be possible to separate the trigger? and make It one single part?
Currently playing around with a Mk1 Lawgiver from Judge Dredd, so I should hopefully be able to make the extra money for an Ultimaker from those when I do a run of them.

I would think that would work well.there would be side plate's covering the rest of the trigger right? and with this I could make a functional trigger.
The trigger would be sandwiched between the two halves of the body, so it should work as a functional trigger. I might have to tweak the trigger a bit as there's not much space between the trigger and the grip, so the throw of the trigger wouldn't be much. I'll get that done tonight for you.

You could always cut a notch in the grip to allow the trigger to move further back.

That would work..
Think I've worked out how I can do it using a miniature microswitch. Should just about be able to fit one of these into the grip and get the trigger to push against the actuator. Just need to go out and buy one now.
