I haven't read through every single post in this thread because it is very long and somewhat contentious.
But if it hasn't been mentioned already, everyone who wants to know what's out there in consumer 3D printing should pick up the latest issue of Make Magazine out in newsstands now (no competition with this fine publication, so I hope my post doesn't get deleted).
You will be amazed at how far 3D printing has come. The original post in this thread exhibits ancient plastic filament technology (so very 2013!). You can now 3D print with metal infused filiments for magnetic or conductive 3D pieces, resin and all kinds of materials (even food stuffs!) There are also overviews of the latest consumer laser cutting machines as well as home computer aided milling machines.
Wood. Metal. Plastic. Resin. Nutella. It is all affordable or nearly affordable technology.
Anyway, I learned so much from this issue and am nearly ready to buy a fabricator of my own. Check it out.
