The Evil Mad Scientist 3D Printer Project

http://www.evilmadscientist.com/article.php/3printerpreview
Another home-make 3d printer, this time from evilmadscientist.com. Unlike RepRap or Fab@Home, this one prints out relatively coarse sculptures in suger, using 'pixels' of about 2-5mm. They are claiming a ver ylow price for it - they reckon a 'resourceful' soul should be able to make one for $500 or so. Wonder how 'resourceful' you have to be...

I seriously covet something like this, although I think Fab@home still gets my vote.

A 5mm cube is not much different to a single stud Lego brick!
