$2500 for a CNC Printing is INSANELY cheap, affordable enough I could actually swing buying one. But the lack of support material makes the things I could make with it limited. Maybe if I printed my own support pegs and cut them off afterwards? For $2500, I could work something out!

Zach Smith/Hoeken, the guy with the hand in the left part of the frame is the guy who really designed this thing.

I have one of those black ABS plastic boxes. The resolution is pretty good. Keep in mind, you can't build "anything". Certain things just don't build well. Still, for several hundred (I'll be nice and not give away the # of benjamins) in parts, this thing is freaking awesome.

This will get really interesting once a scanner is made, and wax becomes part of the process, allowing literally any contiguous form to be rastered out.

Commercial machines that do this for architecture firms usually cost $200,000 and come with their own supervising/operating employee.

Such models often cost $2000 a pop to build.

Bre is the man. I'm pretty sure that error was intentional, but in saying so, I'm rendering it no longer funny. Pun intended.

They've also rastered out a Lego brick that properly fits together with real Lego bricks.

What kind of materials can you print with and what is the cost per pound of material?

We sell two kinds of plastic and are in the process of having a third manufactured.

Our favorite right now is ABS plastic which is the same thing Lego is made out of. It's super strong, fuses really well to itself and looks great!

We also sell HDPE which is the same thing that milk jugs are made out of. It's got some issues with warping on wide prints, but it has great low friction properties that make it perfect for some applications.

We are in the process of having PLA manufactured. PLA is a plastic-like material made from corn. It's clear and looks awesome. We've had some stops and starts with it as we try and get the right mix. (The first batch was too melty) Stay tuned.

You can buy the plastic for the MakerBot on the MakerBot store at http://store.makerbot.com/plastic.html

The cost is as follows

ABS natural - $50 for 5 pounts ($10 per pound)
ABS black - $60 for 5 pounds ($12 per pound)
HDPE - $30 for 5 pounds ($6 per pound)

We have a few other extrudable options in development. We have a frostruder that extrudes frosting and our intern Will is exploring hot glue and crayons as potential extrusion materials.

I should say that 5 pounds of material goes a long way. We go through about 5 pounds a month and we print almost continuously!]]>Jun 11th 2009 12:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/Jun 11th 2009 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/Jun 11th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/Jun 11th 2009 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/Jun 11th 2009 7:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/10/video-makerbots-build-it-yourself-3d-printer-in-action-replic/Star Trek=Replicators are good.
