I have been watching the DIY and hardware hackers publications mostly Make: and Wired both neat magazines, Make: has a lot of DIY projects from wood working to electronic stuff.
Anyway the 3D printers I have been following are desk top personel units not the large fancy rapid prototypers. I have been watching the development of rep rap, makerbot, and now the latest personel 3D printer contender from form labs. The Makerbot Replicator 2 is $2199.00 and the Form labs is around $3000.00 Basicly the same idea just different process and different materials.
If the 3D printers are of interest look up Makerbot and Form Labs. The only 2 limits on these typr machines is the build area size and how good one is at working with 3D drawing programs.
