this is absolutely brilliant. i have no idea how nobody thought of this before. it was so obvious, just melt the plastic faster. so blindingly obvious. i have personally spent many hours trying to design a faster printer. its encouraging to know that there was a very elegant solution right under my nose the whole time. maybe there are a few more?

If you think that's a great idea, how about this one: Melt the plastic even faster than that. I'll be expecting my check in the mail.

No! No, no, not 6! I said 7. Nobody's comin' up with 6. Who makes prints in 6 minutes?

Actually most printers can make it all the way up to 10. The one I've got at home heats at 11; one hotter.

This isn't a new idea at all. It's just getting a lot of publicity.
