Looks nice, but I think I'd only buy something that expensive if I could make a good business case for using it.

Most of us here are in software. But if you're in hardware, this might be significantly cheaper and/or faster than working with a plastics fabricator for creating simple prototypes. I know of one company here in Atlanta that will probably jump on this thing right away.

What do you think the company in Atlanta will use it for? I mean, who are the users that need things printed in plastic? Architects maybe? People who want custom desktop toys? I have a 3d printer on the way and I'm trying to think of how I could make money off of it.
