My friend Dyno Tom told me about this: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... f-you-want

This is about the same price as the Delta printer at: http://seemecnc.com/

The problem with both is that of length of object. The first has a 5" limitation in length and the second a 6". Of course since this would be only for masters the body could be printed in 2 parts.

Man oh man. Not long now.
Cell phones were expensive when they first came out too. Even smart phones are really nowhere near as expensive two years later than they are when they first come out. I can see one of these in my future....

Gonna kill the market for vintage replacement parts :lol:

When people lik RS do one then we can expect cheap Taiwan knock offs soon. The price when I buy must be below $500 which is possible. Some of the kits have been that low.
