Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Any CNC Router owner can print things on his router if he can attach an extruder and use belts/chains instead of leadscrews(these are too slow). Of course, thanks to Adrian Bowyer and Reprap project.

It seems that "Build your CNC" have his own kit of 3D printer/ CNC MachineEdited by vasi 2011-07-13

I still think it's cool, maybe even a little too cool for comfort.

Look down the road several years and it becomes downright scarey. With not that much AI (artificial intellegence) this could lead to machines that have the ability to reproduce themselves.

Smacks of Terminator, ya think?
