$2195? Daaaamn.
Grats, Kao!
Also, I think this is the first time I've actually seen your face in the 10+ years I've been around. I can feel my brain sifting through all its mental images of you, replacing your imaginary face with the real one - the massive increase in neuronal discharge is making my vision hazy.
By the way, how long until we can print food?

Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.
You should meet up with the other two winners and start a band.

Hey, that's hella cool. Congratulations! Nice too that it's going to the home of someone who enjoys all that printing, making and tinkering. Hope your other 3D printer and your metalworking tools enjoy the new addition to the family.

I'm starting to suspect that Kao is less sincerely interested in the state of my weekend than his thread title implies.

I don't tend to post alot of pictures of me. I'm still amazed that many people have even looked at that video heh.
Food printing is now!
Someone just released a granular sugar printer:
http://singularityhub.com/2014/01/13/3d-systems-and-sugar-lab-bring-cheftjet-3d-sugar-printer-to-ces/
I've not seen a picture of the inner workings of the device, but the resulting prints look like a vat of sugar and a printer that lays down sugar water in lines to build up layer types.
There are also chocolate printer attachments that my existing one could use: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:18017
Also a Stephen colbert chocolate mold apperently.
There is also this "pizza" printer (note the quotation marks so as to not reignite the New york Vs chicago vs. san francisco vs. Pacific northwest style pizza there can be only one debate) that is actually printed on the same type of printer I have currently, though mine is a bit modified at this point heh.

I bought my first 3d printer, a Lulzbot AO-100 used for $600. That came with about $100 worth of filliament, and I got a very good deal because the printer had almost no hours on it when I aquired it. That one, and the new one now are whats known as a "Fusion Deposition modeling" FDM style printer, and they range in price between about $500 to around $2k at the high end. There are some larger specialty industrial ones that go for more. Most of the really expensive 3d printers you see in office type environments are either Stereolithography printers that use a laser to fuse either powder or liquid photosensitive resin into models, or Powder resin ink style where the printer starts with a vat of powdered plastic, prints one layer using epoxy "ink", drops a layer and puts another layer of powder over the previous layer, rinse and repeat. Those start at about $10k and go up from there. The end resulting print from one of those is generally going to be slightly nicer than a FDM style print, but the material costs are insane. Printing that trombone on a Stereolithography printer or a powder fusion printer would have been $500 for the raw materials alone instead of the $15 in plastic I used.
The most expensive and newest type of printing is Direct metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) where a frigging huge *** laser beam melts bits of titanium, steel, or aluminum into shapes. Those start at about $200,000, but you can make any metal object as if you cast it right there in place with one.

Hey! I always like hearing about other people weekends. IN that particular case we would of course need photographic evidence. You know, to make sure they were real panda pelts and all though...

Portland, Oregon has a pizza joint called Escape from New York Pizza that is AWESOME. Started by a guy who moved to the NW from NY.

The existing one has a 200mm x 200mm x 160mm printable area. The new one has a 300mm x 300mm x 250mm printable area. Basically I could literally print an entire basketball with the new one. The other advantages the new one has is it will have a newer style 24 volt controller, so the bed even though it is much larger will heat up in around 5 minutes instead of the 12-15 minutes the existing one takes to warm up before it prints. The new one also has the newer revision nozzle that I haven't upgraded to on the existing one.
There are a few things my existing one has better. The fully supported Linear Z axis rail bearings, the Ballscrew replacement for the threaded rod that I am working on, the lighting system. All three of those things I will likely retrofit into the new one at some point. There is also a basically bolt on automatic bed leveling probe that I can print and install for the new one without requiring any design on my part. I was working on one for the smaller one, but Its been on the back burner while I finished up the more pressing Z axis modifications. Aside from that I'll definitly add a second extruder to the larger printer when it arrives since I'll have the space to do so without losing a huge amount of print area. Aside from that it will be identifying areas that can be improved, then making improvements for it. At last count I've designed 22 separate improvement parts for the existing AO-100 I had. all of which total have been downloaded over 9,547 times cumulativly by other people in the world. Some of which were obviously more useful or popular than others heh. So yes, I plan to extensivly modify it as the whim takes me.
I like upgrading things!

I'm actually also working on a printable trumpet. The valves are being a pain to figure out though since I don't have a set of valves in front of me to measure. Also, I can make noise come out of a trumpet but I have no idea how to play one to tell if whatever horiffic plastic trumpet abomination I eventually produce will actually make the correct sounds when the valves are used or not...

Am I correct in thinking that what you can make is only limited by your ability to use CAD or what blueprints you can find, and how much plastic you have?
Can you print out a printer?

Congrats Kao! Now can you print with wax, to make molds for lost wax casts. I've seen some impressive jewelry made using molds made on 3D printers, but not looked into them yet.
