I don't get why my you-tube vids won't embed. They do in preview.

It's a clip about a 3d printer that Jay Leno has in his garage.
Here's a link http://www.jaylenosgarage.com/video/...tml?vid=944641

Re: The Coolest Thing You'll See Today

Thanks guys.

The fact that the things come out of the copier able to move amazes me.

Re: The Coolest Thing You'll See Today

yea, that part surprised me too. There is a 3d printer at my school, but no way it could print moving parts.

Re: The Coolest Thing You'll See Today

I saw the huge version of that thing years ago at a show at McCormick Place, absolutely amazing, I need one in my house. We are having AC vents for 1958 Oldsmobile reproduced (impossible to find and no one reproduces them), using one of those type of machines, we're having several made to try and recoup the initial costs.

You can get a stripped down, bare bones version of one that has the ability to reproduce itself for less than 800 bucks, here.
