So getting a second printer,

These things are pretty amazing, we got tons of 3D designs ready, many are ones we created, modeling on our computer.

We have yet to get into major detail, which we are going to prototype a few cool designs in the next few weeks. (If everything goes as well as we would like it to go)

We are working on an F1 car, with moving parts. Then cast it in Carbon Fiber like the real thing.

You should take pics and document it step by step.

pretty cool! I would totally love to have one.

Google Sketch-Up is a cool free program for modeling stuff...but you probably already knew that.

We did a time-lapse a few day's ago, If I ever get around to posting it here.

The great thing is, all this is open source, so it will be available to the general public.

In a few years, the technology will also be there where you can manufacture assault rifles with a 3-D printer. They've already had success, but they don't last very long.

Some dude already figured out how to make 30 round magazines for his AR and it worked perfect.

Probably best to avoid 'MakerBot', They are the most popular right now, but for sure not the best.

They have decent marketing, but the machines are not as good as they make them to be (not that they are bad). But the most significant thing (to my mind) is the move they made to 'closed source'. (So to speak)

Well I can't afford any in the foreseeable future and beyond that. But thanks for letting me know

Ya, I think it's really cool, With tons of potential, maybe second or 3rd generation of it would be worth buying.

Staples in the US will start selling 3D printers next month.

(Well one model at first, the cube, which prints at 250 microns, which is alright, but not great, the lower the number, the better the printed resolution, 125 and lower would be more high def printing, 25 microns is like ultra HD or 4K TV)

They're going to do a report on the local news about making guns with 3d printing

I had this on order, month for it to arrive, last minute I stopped the order. Now we are printing a 3D printer, using a 3D printer.

(the one we already have)

Can you make a bazooka for me? :P

Ironic that the manufacturer may be put out of business by their own product.
