It will pay for itself with 30 round magazines printed up.
It is brilliant that it will be used on Apple Products. This items will make them an even bigger fortune. I can’t believe how reasonable these things are getting.
I figured they would practically give them away, and then nick you on the cartridges.
I paid more than that for my first B/W laser printer. An equivalent model goes for about $120 today.
I also need a good, easy to use MCAD product. I looked at some open source products, but haven't tried them yet.
Could of sworn I saw hobby 3d printers for $500-600. bare bones....let me go look again...
The owner’s and CEO of this company are virulently against #D printing of firearms.

3D Systems, the company that makes Lerols machine, has also closely been monitoring the gun developments. Abe Reichental, the companys chief executive, said he is open to working with members of the industry and legislators to restrict certain shapes from being printed.
We dont want to prevent printing anything that is legal and proper, he said. But we want to be responsible. We want to do good. We want to be a force that helps shape the goodness of this technology and its use.
Its all a matter of perspective, 25 years ago these things were $250,000.
Here’s one for your list.
That's because the computer is not actually controlling anything. You are just downloading a file to the printer. You could use a flash drive if you have the file and the printer has a USB port, which it should.
The profit is never in the printer itself, but in the consumables the printer uses.
So what can you use it for? Print out a bunch of Happy Meal Toys?
I am not a computer whiz. We have on this forum those that are. For the computer whiz: what will I get if I spend $2,000 on a 3D printer? What is the benefit?
Here are some different materials that they are using for 3D printing.

It's usually referred to as "cutting edge" technology.. because it makes your billfold bleed.
I can remember when the CD burner was first introduced to the public it was priced at $5000.
I paid $2000 for a 9 gig Seagate Barracuda SCSI hard drive in order to capture video. That was back in 1998.
3D printing, in my opinion, is going to be HUGE in terms of changing our society. I've started to refer to it as the 21st century's version of "modern day milling."
Glad I own stock.
I feel certain that Anthony Wiener, that admirable politician running for governor of New Yarkansas, has purchased one of these for which he’ll use to make copies of his infamous wiener.
