I want a Maker Bot !!!   Very cool and a wonderful use of new technology.   Its just like a mini CNC mill (4 axis).  Have to research these things.  I know "machine code" from my days as a CNC programmer/operator in my youth.  Spent 12 years doing that shit.   Hope they use that language and interface with AutoCad.  I just saw on MSN where somone made a 3D printed gun !!!  Way cool stuff !!!  Link to gun video below

Anywhere from $2000 to $3000 for the Makerbot.   Not bad considering the profit potential.  And its a extruder.  I thaught it had milling/drilling cababilities.  Youtube here I come for more operating video

Yea, they're pretty sweet stuff. It's funny because I would agree that 3d printing is the next printing press invention but really it's been around since the 80's.

 

I'm actually building my own from scratch and salvaged parts. My total cost will be under $500. I've made excellent progress so far and I'm planning to have it finished by the end of the summer.

Keep us posted !!!   Ive been reviewing printers for the past few hours and while the Cube gets nicest reviews, its cost to operate is high compared to the Makerbot

Thinking about it.   The Cube has the largest work space (can create items up to 10" tall), but the operating cost is extremely high.  The MakerBot while lacking in max. height of an item (only a little over 6") is the most cost effective.   But if your home made setup works and is comparable in operating cost and work area, then that may be the best bet.  Are you documenting the build ?

I just measured and my working area will be something like 10"W - 12"L -12"H

 

I will prolly document it enough to make a couple sweet blog posts but as far as repeating the build... wouldn't be worth the trouble. I'm basically using whatever gear I can get my hands on.

I buyed myself a RigidBot two months ago. Its a campain on Kickstarter and it will end tomorrow. after they got all the money from kickstarter they order al the parts and send them out to the folks.

expected delivery date is in september/october so i still have to wait a little.

the rigidbot has much better specs than the makerbot or any other printer right now. the one i buyed can print pieces up to 10"x10"x10" (25,4cm x 25.4cm x 25.4cm)

with a minimum layerhight of 0.1mm (0.00393700787inches ;))

I paid including the shipping and the upgraded LCD and USB-Port ~500€ (~650$).

If someone wants a good 3d printer and can wait a little u can should buy a Rigidbot too. If u want a printer now u should buy the Solidoodle ist pretty cheap too.

and here are some Links:

damn Christmas is in a week. Wonder what toys I should print this year. lol

 

In 2003 i thinking about these printers. Thinking how cool it would be to have one. I have not kept up but no way I would think any of you would have one. WOW that is so cool. 

 

To think.... I could make a dildo 10"x10"x10". I would be the coolest gay in the village.

Just think in 10 years where this will go !!!   Hell in 100 years it will be like the Star Trek replicator, that they got their meals from.

That one looks great too.  Need to research its operating cost.  Love the huge item cabability.

Here you have something that's very inventive and one of the first things people wish to use for is to making a gun. What's wrong with society today...

The prototype is only supposed to fire a few shots before replacing the barrel with a new one. But that really doesn't matter because it effectively costs $0.50 to replace it once you have the printer.

 

The point really is just that it WORKS and really fires a bullet.
