That’s actually one of the big reasons I’ve considered getting a 3D printer. It would make prop-making so much easier. I’m decent enough at carving and sculpting stuff. But carving mistakes can be costly if you accidentally remove too much material. But with a 3D printer, you can see your end product on screen and verify it looks the way you want. And then (assuming the printer is correctly set up) it is just… Done.
