I've always found it interesting, but until recently 3D printing has been just a little too expensive for me to pull the trigger on buying my own machine.
A couple of months ago I saw an auction on eBay for a decently-priced clone of a MakerBot Replicator and had my impulsive "Best Offer" bid accepted instantly...*gulp*

Je ne regrette rien |
Before MakerBot
went all evil, they put out a really sturdy open-source machine in the Replicator.
Predictably there are now some really affordable clones of the original Replicator available, and the version I bought was from a company called
CTC.

This was the version I got, plain black plywood with an aluminium heated bed |
