Anyone else trying this?  I have a makerfarm prusa i3v kit I've been working with for a while now.

I've got my cost down to about $300 per successful print.

Things are so perfect in my minds world, I have thought my world out in my mind, I just need to print it out in triplicate.

[DarkPenguin]

2 more successful prints with only minimal additional outlay!  I think I'm under $200 a print!

And we complain about jet ink carts.

Is that amortizing the cost of the printer itself, or your actual cost of materials for the prints?  If the latter, are you a jeweler or a goldsmith?

[DarkPenguin]

The printer itself is in there.  Plus the two dead print heads.  Plus materials.

[Mr ChriZ]

Can we see some of your creations? 

[DarkPenguin]

As soon as they don't humiliate me..

I predict it will be a Leinenkugel bottle.

It is actually replacement parts for the printer itself.  That's the key to 3d printing.  It is a race to print replacement 3d printed parts before they wear out.  If you can't do it then 3d printing isn't for you.

I wonder if it could at one time in the future print human body parts, that would be truly interesting.

Just imagine all the lives it could save.

I wish I could believe you're joking.
