Open-Source 3D Printer Lets Users Make Anything

An anonymous reader writes "Picture a 3D inkjet printer that deposits droplets of plastic, layer by layer, gradually building up an object of any shape. Fabbers have been around for two decades, but they've always been the pricey playthings of high-tech labs — and could only use a single material. A Fab at Home kit costs around $2400 and allows users to print anything from Hors d'Oeuvres to flashlights."

This thing will be like the Betamax once there are nanotech vats which will enable anyone to create anything as long as they have raw material i.e. household trash and whatnot. Yeah... Try holding your breath for that, see what happens.
