Well.....for personal usage you can pretty much model and do what ever you want. Thingiverse has a metric ton of free files for many IPs available (key word free).

Well the OP wanted ways to improve what we have. Not completely rewrite things as is currently being discussed.

But this has gone so off the trail at this point I just wanted to steer it back some.
