in fact... less than a solidoodle ^^
solidoodle is not anymore the cheapest printer...less than 500$ for 304mm*406mm*254mm simple kit (or 735$ fully assembled) with the furniture than a solidoodle (sanguinololu..and so on..)
Hey, they are doing pretty good only another 363,000$ and they will get to the heated bed!! looks like their target ship date is still around setp.-nov.

So I looked into it and it looks amazing, I had an idea but I don't know the Right type of machine I should use. I was told of 2 types, one that runs a string of material or something into the 3D shape and another that was like a hard plastic that is heated in a vat and shaped by intersecting lasers and can produce fairly complex shapes.
I need something that can make solid and somewhat detailed 3D shapes from the size of a chess piece with moderate detail to the something the size of a desk model (30x30cm roughly) the idea is to print small designs of cars that my dad draws. because we have the art studio to paint them, i suspect his Hotrod club would pay well for models of their cars. and also parts for his sign writing business, pop out letters etc.
Any recommendations? all feed back would be appreciated.
