<BR>
Nice!<BR>
<BR>
To answer the original question, I have a Makibox 3D printer <A href="http://www.makibox.com">www.makibox.com</A>, however haven't really got it going yet. The original extruder broke after about 10 minutes and I only got my replacement yesterday. It was $399 and was originally a kickstarter project. I also have a 4' x 8' CNC that I am putting the final touches on to complete it in the coming few days. It is going, but needs tweaks. I have been thinking of putting a 3D extruder on the Z axis and making the whole thing a PLA printer. Not very practical though, it would take weeks and probably a truck and a half of PLA to do a full bed print! It would be fun to do a largish print though that is bigger than a few inches cubed.<BR>
