My area of 3D printing is now being co-opted by the looter-in-chief. You may also notice that the challenge emphasizes "winter holiday". Perhaps I should print a bouncing $0 bill with Obama's mugshot on it.

    You are most welcome, Commander. The finances are a tall order, but not an insurmountable one.

    How about a globe on fire?
    For the tree huggers it would signify one thing ... and for those of us who can conceptualize, quite another!

    I remember hearing that way back when. (I realize its only been 6 years, but is so bad it feels like 6 decades)

    At this point they would need to 3-D print a ROLL of them to keep track of the money they have wasted

    Uncle Sam is looking for the sanction of the victim here. I won't give him that satisfaction.

    A minus $100 ($-100) bill would be most appropriate I think. Or better yet, minus whatever amount of debt they run up in DC every second.

    Based only on this webpage, I wholeheartedly support this initiative. The challenge should emphasize the winter holidays b/c it's that time of year.

    Excellent....I was really unimpressed when material deposition showed up on the market. Strength of materials was in question for any application I had.

    Not yet. We're still working on the 3D printing of metals. My "John Galt" of a student thinks we're a couple of months away. I think it's more like 6 months. That would not be stainless yet either.

    However, you should check out

    an Australian company in Kickstarter mode.
    They are definitely ahead of us.
