Five years ago, he built a machine for $1100. Now, he's building one at twice the resolution, larger print size, AND a higher overall quality for $500.<br /><br />In twenty years, you'll be able to buy laser sintering machines that do this in aluminum for about the price of a color laer printer today.Geodkythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340718574781403778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-56905216483691482242012-09-23T17:16:35.461-04:002012-09-23T17:16:35.461-04:00Steve C.,

No doubt, it was those excellent, glow in the dark, sights on his cannons that did it.<br />And so, from one resident of the commemoratively named North Americlan continent to another, here's a "hat tip" for publicizing yet another commemoration of this historic explorer.<br />Gotta run now and put up a new Americlan flag for Constitution week.
