Liam, I have sent the URL on to a friend of ours in California who spent years developing the first 3D printers. I'll be interested to hear what he has to say

My design office uses this sort of thing for pre-production verification of new casting designs, 3D resin full size models straight from our 3D graphic files (Solidworks), awsome tool to have in mechanical engineering development.

I think it's mainly the fact that they built it themselves from bits and pieces for less than $500 and can make sugar sculptures with it that impresses me
obviously 3D printing in general is very impressive, but this one has a certain rustic charm

I can almost hear the hammering from Don's workshop as he builds one for less than $200!

To heck with that....
My goal is to mount a half dozen or so fully automatic firing paintball guns (each filled with red, green or blue paintballs), to a computer controlled targeting and aiming system (darpa challenge anyone?), and program it Paint wall murals from jpeg files. Drive by Graffitti anyone?

Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.
