Have you seen the price of the consumable filament!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Who is the first person to replace the melt head with a MIG torch?

Gonna need to shield the electronics a lot better if you're using a MIG nearby.

The plan is to use granulate (much cheaper) in the future.

We acquired a 'RapMan' for our deparment . I teach Technical Education or "techy" as it's known in Scotland.
Our pupils seemed to have no problem with the concept of a 3D printer...
We've been producing models in ProENGINEER exporting as .STL and converting to G Code using Skeinforge.
Photos here;

The filament is about £45 for 5kg at the moment.
Cheers
