This isn't SPAM and I don't work for Glowforge. LOL!

I just ordered of one these amazing tools and thought I would share since there's a 7 day window remaining to get your hands on one for 50% off retail. Anyone that does a lot of engineering or design will find this type of desktop ability unparalleled. Anyway, just thought I'd spread the news on this opportunity. Enjoy!

Cool. Can you print out discus? Maybe in their various colors? Hang them from your car's rear view mirror?

That thing is awesome. I have no idea what I'd use it for but I kind of want one. :laugh:

It's certainly awesome. I know one think, it'll make custom acrylic work much easier. 😉

I'd love one but not ready to drop the cash on it. So cool though.

Yeah, it's a bit pricy and I thought about it for like a week but I knew I wanted one. The discount sort of pushed me over the edge. $3995 is way better than $8000.

I'll eventually have one, but I can't see myself using it and paying for itself at this time. It'd be a nice addition to a DIY shop once it gets a bit more mainstream perhaps. Print your own pump parts, net handles, probe holders, etc small things like that.

My sons been using a 3D printer in his Tech ED classes and wants one real bad for Christmas. Really cool what you can do with these. Unfortunately I told him we all had to ask SANTA for a new roof this year to keep our other stuff dry. He agreed and said that made sense, as it would keep the 3d printer dry!:bandana: kids.. gotta love them!

Al, I've got a 3d printer I'm looking to sell, that I just don't use. If you're interested let me know, I'll make you a great deal on it.

It's this one http://www.flashforge-usa.com/shop/3d-printers/creator-dual-extruder.html
