But if you do use them, investing in a 3D printer will allow you to create your own and save a lot of money on the long run. You can even scale down regular models such as chests, barrels, etc.

It's a fun toy that you can buy together as a group of players. It usually take a few hours to print a model, so you can start a print while you play a game and have a nice surprise when you are done playing.

Printing the exact model of the boss your players are going to fight is priceless.

(I'm talking about a $200-$400 price range printer and not a $2000+ one mind you.)

Hmmm yeah that would be nice... If we buy it together we can have it one week each. And you can even print coins, I guess.

There's something special about breaking the fourth wall and having the players carry mementos in real life.
