For hackers, Makerbot just slashed their price for their 3D printer. Their starter kit is now 649 dollars, and the ultimate kit is about 900 dollars. Apparently, they're going to announce a new 3D printer. http://blog.makerbot.com/2010/09/22/makerbot-cupcake-cnc-sal...

(Not afflicted with makerbot in any way and still too poor to afford a Cupcake CNC)

Or use a 3D printing service like http://cloudfab.com/ if you just like making the 3D .stl files.
