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!

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.

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

I like it so far!

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

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.
