As a board game and toy designer, it would be useful to me for making low-cost prototypes of novel game components.
(Perhaps architects could use it to make components for those models they're always making out of paper?)
You could use it to make "lost wax" positive models for sand-casting parts out of metal. Print your model, pack it in sand, poke two holes to the model, pour in your molten metal to burn away the model, let it cool, and ta-dah!
You could make a model, then varnish or shellac it to make it more durable. You could dip it in liquid latex, let it dry, and now it's waterproof and significantly more durable.
The more I think about this, the cooler it is. If it's reasonably priced, I'm totally interested in getting one.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
