3D printer gets smaller, cheaper, and comes into the home.
I know that times are hard. But we don’t really need to eat. What we really is 3D printers. Forgoing the traditional human diet is what most average home users would need to do in order to get their hands on a 3D printer seeing as most are more geared towards large companies and cost thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars. The great thing about technology and the whole market as a whole is that it moves so quickly, as do the prices. While just a few short years ago, even the prices above were considered a dream. Fast forward to the present and we now have home models ready for consumer consumption.
The trick to skating in under $1,000 — $750 to be exact — is that the particular home 3D printers available from Market Bot Industries actually come in kit form. Kit form meaning you buy a bunch of pieces and assemble the printer yourself. Not exactly the perfect idea for your grandma’s Christmas gift, but for the die hard tech-nerd such as yourself, well, it shouldn’t be too much of a stretch. Hey, weekend projects are often worth it once the final product has be obtained and completed. So what do ya say — $750 too much for an ultra geeky science project? You never know, printing plastic models of your goofy face might be all the rage…
