The shop will also be hosting some special guests, including Goblin Skunkworks, a local company who will be bringing their own 3D scanner.

Visitors can have their head or full body scanned, and then a 3D printed miniature figure in their likeness will be produced.

Participants will then be able to do a number of things with their miniature figures, such as create an RPG character or a gift for a loved one.
