3D printer

Sooo.. I bought one of these. It will be another week or so (at least) before it ships, since there's a bunch of backlog. But I'm excited. Partly because it's a kit and I get to build it from (basically) scratch, so I'll really get a good understanding of how it works, and I can tinker a lot with the hardware and software. One thing I want to do is set it up with dual extruders (or maybe a diamond head) so I can print multiple filaments in the same object. There is also supposed to be a CNC kit coming out for it soon. And even if not, you can use easy casting techniques to turn plastic 3d parts into solid metal or other materials. And I'll have a reason to hone my (currently non-existent) 3d modeling skills. And my wife has been browsing thingiverse for stuff that she can use in her knitting hobby.
