Make your own 3D Printer


Think of what you could do with your own 3D Printer. This article:

Tells about plans for making your own. Think of the ramifications. If your toothbrush wears out, just print up a new one! Need more legos? Print out some more!

mmmmm.... synthesized cafeteria food from the box in the wall!


Will we need to learn how to talk like Patrick Stewart and say "Tea.  Earl Grey."  or Kate Mulgrew and demand "Coffee!" to get some of that food made from play-doh?  Will they be able to get the things to eventually bypass the law of conservation of matter and energy?  Enquiring minds want to know.


This could spell the end of the model building industry for those hobbyists... musing off into the land of TV informercials... 


Why go to the trouble and hassle of glueing your fingers together or botching up that paint job with fingerprints or embedding gluey fingerprints into the plastic parts of the model kit when you can simply use the Ronco Home Freeform Rotisserie Fabricator... all you need to do if you want to impress company with that detailed 1:256 scale model of the USS Hornet is drop some Ronco Freeform substrate onto the rotisserie skewer, lock it in place, turn the timer, and forget about it!  It's that simple!  Drop, Lock, Turn, and audience... Forget about it!  How much would you pay for this?  $10 grand you say?  Well, we won't be charging you $10 grand, not $7 grand, not $5 grand, not even $2.5 grand.  Now, for 4 easy payments of $599.99 (plus shipping and handling), you can have the Ronco Home Freeform Rotisserie Fabricator in your own home through this special offer.


And if you act now, we'll through in for free this set of executive celebrity style toupees, which retail for over $300 by themself.  But that's not all, call now and if you promise to tell a friend about this offer, we'll double the amount of Ronco Freeform substrate that is shipped with your Ronco Home Freeform Rotisserie Fabricator and throw in a pair of neoprene coated gloves for handling those hot models when they come out of the Fabricator... all just for helping us spread the word about our product!


But wait Ron, that's not all...


That's right folks!  Call within the next 30 minutes, and all this, the Ronco Home Freeform Rotisserie Fabricator, the set of executive celebrity style toupees, the double portion of Ronco Freeform substrate, and the neoprene coated gloves... a value of well over $10 grand... can be yours for three simple payments of $599.99 plus shipping and handling.  Imagine that for less than the cost of your annual auto insurance premium, you can Drop, Lock, Turn, and (audience enthusiastically replies) Forget About It!
