This is what I want: http://www.zcorp.com/products/printersdetail-450.asp?ID=1 One guy who uses it (or an earlier model) to make 3D puzzles calls it his Santa Claus machine. He starts it up at night and in the morning he has the finished product waiting for him.

(I wonder if small 3D plastic printers, non-color, already are? Not that I have a spare two grand right now, but that's about the threshold between utterly beyond the realm of possibility and yeah, I might think about doing that -- it turns out that $100 to $125 is my whim pricing threshold). Those are neat. So, too, are the projects in Digital Machinist. I *hate* being targeted by advertising that actually works, but evidently either Circuit Cellar or Nuts and Volts sold my name to Digital Machinist. They sent me the free issue and I subscribed for a year. The projects there are basically, how to turn a regular milling machine into a CNC mill and I don't know how I'd ever use one for anything other than making parts for small engine repair, but it just seems so COOL to feed the machine a DXF (or equivalent) file and a chunk of bar stock, and get back something complex and metal. You can get into CNC milling for about $6,000, about $2000 if you buy everything used and are pretty handy.

I just said I wanted it. I didn't say I could get it. Having had my first child (she's 3 now) at age 42, in a few more years I'm going to be saying, Let's see now ... dentures or tuition, tuition or dentures, what's the call?

They are, at least for the home experimenter: http://reprap.org/bin/view/Main/WebHome and http://www.fabathome.org/wiki/index.php?title=Fab%40Home:Overview I'm hoping to start on one of these myself, for the fun of it. The individual parts for these rarely exceed my pain threshold, and I can buy them a bit at a time. - -- Pat -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGYMcANObCqA8uBswRAmA8AJ9M6PbgvugNXYbu/7lEo0pAJsAtgACgpPfs cwB8bUvV4maj4XBt7d2cUYk= =nmTZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 begin:vcard fn:Patrick Spinler n:Spinler;Patrick adr:Ozmun Center 1-12;;200 First St SW;Rochester;Mn;55905;United States email;internet:[EMAIL PROTECTED] tel;work:507-284-9485 x-mozilla-html:FALSE version:2.1 end:vcard
