[olug] [OT] The 3D PRINTER

[aric at omahax.com]

The makerbot one doesn't do support material and is only 100mm x 100mm x
130mm.

3D printers seem to have doubled in cost over that last few years.
I was looking at the Dimension uPrint a few years ago and I think it
doubled in price since then.

I liked the idea of water soluble support material.
.....but the powder is way cool.

It is like laser sintering but with plastic instead of titanium powder. 
hmmmmm I bet they are simply using laser sintering.
