D-Shape - the 3D printer that makes buildings.

Nope, but you could use it to BUILD your home! *play rimshot.mp3*
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky? That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry- NO QUARTER!!! -- "No Quarter", by Echo's Children
And when you're done building a home with your 3-D printer, build someone to live in it.

Going to the other extreme - 3Doodler. "It's a pen that can draw in the air!"
Link is to the Kickstarter, currently at $2,109,866 pledged of $30,000 goal with 18 days remaining. Pledge $75 and they'll ship you one once it's made sometime in the next 12 months. -- Rob Kelk "Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose them.

Poke, poke. Ended up talking about this thread and its predecessor with a coworker, and I decided to see what if anything people have to offer after 9 months.

Well, Printrbot's got a printer right at the $299 price point, even if it's DIY and the filament is expensive:
The Printrbot Simple Already Assembled is another $100. Make Zine keeps saying that if you use PLA filament, get a fan on the build table during printing to improve quality.

New day, new post:
This guy is 3d-printing a car. Full-size. Well, okay, he's 3-d printing the mold plug for a fiberglass body shell, but still!

Wow, nice.
I wonder... hmm. If you had nothing else of a car but the blueprints and an existing model for reference - like some ultra-rare thing like The 48 Tucker - could you start bringing back stuff like that and "printing" out copies eventually? This has interesting implications for a lot of things actually. |
