    next leap in computer technology is that everybody has one at home.

    Hewlett packard >> wake up i want a 3D deksjet 9000 for $50 :)

    i dont even wanna think about the day when these things can print in ANY material

    Have it print a 3D Printer… Wait no, have it print a 3D Printer printing a 3D Printer

    Half Price Prototypes uses this exact same 3d printer.

    i rember seeing this on discovery channel “future world” maybe a few years ago, great to see somthing which can actually be purchased. I would love one haha.

    back when me and my friends were young we used to joke about printing out hardware from the computer after buying things online. Now this is reality.

    this machine isn’t much more complicated than a regular ink-jet printer.

    It’s just the lack of competition and maybe patents on materials that’s keeping the price high for now.

    In fact, if it were mass produced it would more more expensive for being bulky than for any other reason. These things could be 3-5k I bet.

    I just jizzed my pants. I have no idea what I need this for, but I need it. Now.

    cool although 3d printers have been around for over 20 years (since the mid 80s). Its the first time I’ve seen the model in color although probably has a higher cost. Hopefully the color is only on the surface. Be cool to get one for home when they are < $250 … that would be a break through!

    @wolfyys

    It’s not really an argument, since I am neither oposing or agreeing to anything you wrote.

    I just noticed the “there” and that annoys me.

  13. wolfyys says:

    ahh, the spelling argument, everyone makes spelling mistakes moron.

    only an idiot needs to pick on something completely unrelated to the subject because they dont have an argument to begin with.

  14. realisticHomeboy says:

    “they’re” or “they are”, not “there”. Someone in college should know that.

    Cool way to make toys for kids lol.

    no mames!!

  17. Tbannu says:

    I love the future… especially when it’s already here!

  18. neil73 says:

    You could print off humans if they made a big one!

  19. BassKilla47 says:

    that is so fucking cool. . .

  20. wolfyys says:

    these machines are obsolete, there are 3d printers now that can make parts from both strong plastic (like ABS) and metal.

    Ive used these Z-Printers at my college, there impressive, but other 3d printers (as mentioned) can make ready to use parts, not just weak prototypes.

    Nice has nothing to do with aesthetics and everything to do with the quality of the product you produce using the tool.

  22. ArchBasiat says:

    Only an idiot goes after a tool for aesthetics.

  23. iliketheocean says:

    You’re not going to build a machine that’s as nice as that for $530.

  24. lundburgerr says:

    for people that want an affordable and good 3d-printer, check out RepRap, it’s an open-source project

  25. ArchBasiat says:

    Or about $530 if you build your own. God bless cut-throat Capitalism, eh?
