I thought this was cool concept, a printer that could potentially copy itself.

been posted many times before. Been following i for over a year. I'm waiting for version2 (mendal) to be standardised.
Awesome stuff and I can' wait for these to become better.

I worked at Dyson and the R&D labs had one of the powder type prototypers (0:37 - 0:49 in the video) and it was a very clever system, costing a fair bit more than the quoted 20k euros.

I for one welcome our new self-replicating overlords.
