Andy, Why dont you add an extruder to an existing machine? I'm sure you have cnc machines already. The extruder could be swapped for a spindle. I read that people slow 3D printers down to 30-60mm/sec to get better prints, so... can you get 1.8 to 3.5m/min? or is that the reason people dont do this? also, would you use Linuxcnc to control what you do end up getting? I was considering putting an extruder on my table top just to model some ideas.
