Might be quicker and cheaper to get that 3d printer... and the Staples ones are going to be glued paper, I'd go with ABS or styrene, personally...

Dang, there went my chance to justify a 3D printer at home :)

My shop list is pretty backed up nowadays, but you wanna send a picture of what you're talking about, Nancy? I love new technology and all, but 3d printing might not be the best way to do this...

Yes, I need one - or rather, I would like someone to print my cuphook-turned-necklace-holder design to replace my cuphook-turned-necklace-holder-outfitted-with-extra-3M-hooks-down-the-center.....

The erector set for the era. I'm seeing some nicer high quality (finished product) ones (at higher prices) starting to appear as well. We are in the price range of what we used to pay for a nice laser printer... and just like a nice printer, I think the office will need one soon.

The copyright/design violations of the movement will be revolutionary, or will the legal system win and put 'controls' on what can be printed.
