I got me 3D printer, awesome!

A friend of mine got the exact same one and was there yesterday to see it

Amazing little machine. And very cool watching it work

Admit it, the first thing many of us would print out would be a gigantic penis just for the lulz (leave it hanging through next door's letterbox for bonus points).

I agree, first thing i thought of! ha.

Laser cutter and 3D printer......i dont even run an ink printer :( jealous!
 
I want. :)

That is pretty nice, I use one at University now and agian and would really love to have one at home, just to try out new idea's.
 
Great machines and even better having one at home.

We have a couple at work that are my babies :D a uPrint which uses ABS like yours and a zprinter 450 which is powder based and prints coloured models at even finer detail.

I saw a printer for around the 1K mark a while back and they reckoned you could use it to print the parts to make a copy of itself !

Just curious Pinter, what is it using for support material as I can only see the one spool of ABS? (I'm guessing it's the green stuff? ) I have to use a brown brittle support material with the uPrint.
 
All this penis talk reminded me of an awful dream i had last night!

Also pretty cool printer :)

I'd love one just for giggles.

3D printing really is going to change things over the next few years. Already there is a car out somewhere that uses 3d printed panels instead of formed ones. How cool would it be to just buy a lego design and then be sent the schematics to print it out yourself!

They only work on plastic at the moment dont they?

A bloke at work saw one at a show that was laying down some form of ally making what looked like a very complex manifold, he never got time to have a closer look though as it wasn't something we were there for.

Saw a Z-Printer in action though, I still have the little demo part they made on my desk......sorry but it is so cool.

Ahh excellent I didn't realise they had come that far already.
