“Finally!” you think, “A cheap 3D printer I don’t have to build myself.” Yes, you’re probably already doing the calculations in your head. For a mere $3.5 million US dollars you can buy 1,000 of these suckers and build a tower of 3D printing power the likes no one hAS EVER SEEN!! muwwahhHAHA!!
All you need is $3.5 mil and a finger to hit the buy button at Bits From Bytes for their new fully-assembled, plastruding plastruder, the BFB 3000. It’s got a slick acrylic exterior and everything you need to get started importing .STL’s and printing your design or exact duplicate of yourself.
But little ol’ BFB is in a hot market that print powerhouse HP has recently entered with Stratasys to create the Designjet 3D printer. How do they compare? You might be surprised.

There is certainly no shortage of 3D print or 
On a slow, muggy night I’ll sit back, pop open a can of high density polyethylene and take a look at all the activity happening in the world of 3D fabrication. It’s invigorating. I highly recommend it.
Prepare your drive systems and Plastruders my Cartesian coordinating friends. The great “Horn of DIY Fab” has sounded and the battle to maintain your 3D print fix and MakerBot units sold is EMINENT.
Imagine for a moment – taking a sip of coffee, scalding your mouth, then slamming your fist upon the keyboard that sends your final SolidWorks generated 3D model to a 3D printer sitting right next to you.
