There's also Fab@Home, which does some pretty pretty cool stuff for $2500 or so (less if you can scavenge parts). There's no way you could prototype robot parts with it, due to a lack of precision, but hey, you can print with chocolate, cheesewhizz, epoxy and other cool stuff. I've been looking into making a modified version of this and trying to up the precision.

I've been waiting for the release of this machine since I found out about it month ago.

There is a one page article in the Sept. issue of Pop Sci about it.

They predict each .1" layer will take 2 minutes to make!

I'm not sure if thats a typo, but that is very impressive if it can work that fast.



This is a quote from the article:
"fabricate for example, your own rubber watchband or iPhone case."

I've already done that!

I broke the blade grips on my micro helicopter after a crash a few weeks ago.

This was the repair:

A 3D printing contest for CD may be in the works so stay tuned!:D

Just letting everyone know that I created a Youtube Channel for 3D printing.

www.youtube.com/printto3d

It has the same videos as my personal channel, but has all kinds of other favorited videos as well and is specific to 3D printing.:)

Let me know if you have any suggestions or improvements for it.

Please feel free to watch, subscribe, rate, and comment!

I was also sent this article: http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/21/tech...ion=2007082209

For those of you that are interested.

I have just uploaded 5 new videos this weekend about 3d printing.

www.youtube.com/team222badbrad

I will probably have many more videos to come as I just got a Canon TX1.:D

I like it so far!

Please let me know if you want to see a video of something! I need some ideas!:p

As stated in my last post I also have my www.youtube.com/printto3d channel, but I have yet to upload them to that channel.

Anyone ever hear of MakerBot? They make a 3D printer kit where you get to make your own 3D printer. My school has a 3D printer that cost $20000, but the MakerBot only costs like $950. I want to build one. :)
