That is not fascinating, "that's dang impressive", I really could do a lot with one off those printers for model building ... that would be so much fun B-)

, a few months back I saw an article were one was building a house ? whether its true or not ?

Would be a good plan to build a house, so you could mortgage it to buy more supplies :lol:

At the moment they are still to small, they can make things maybe 1200x1200mm, when it gets to the meter size it would be handy.

So they can print guns and aircraft...
When you put the two together with the vid showing a gun on a drone, I suspect it won't be long until eveyone is printing armed drones to deal with their neighbours cats... or worse! :twisted:
