Mmmm, I'd rather go with MakerBot, who kicked off the affordable 3D printing market some 3 years ago.

Product Highlights

• The MakerBot Replicator™ is assembled and tested prior to shipment.
• Go big! With a print volume of more than 300 cubic inches, you’ll be making things the size of a loaf of bread. • A new world of color. By choosing the dual extrusion option you can make multicolored objects.
• Low cost consumables. Print in either ABS (what Lego® is made of) or PLA (a bio-material made from corn).

Artists will flood the streets with the advent of this new tool. Now you can undo a hammer strike on a chisel. Go figure!

...that being said now your boss will want things in done in "2 hours".

Fortunately artist and their customers prefer natural materials, not ABS polymer.

I can imagine someone with a Logitech G9x making his own hand rest that snaps on to the mouse:



Or joystick parts, like the pinky-paddle?

Unreasonable? No such thing with good planning:




....mmmm. Might need a time machine.

This is exiting.

They'll do the same as they've done with the inkjet printers:

sell you a new printer for £40 and charge you £60 for replacement cartridges for it......

Yes! I an a cynic, but I wasn't born one.
