@daniel: Perhaps you look for a link like this? This was an easy search, indeed. ;-)

Greetings,

Anonymous, The RepRap would still be considerable in price due to the currency conversion -- though, the pricing is nominal in the context of commercial systems, which is what I think this entry is pointing out in this space.

I can think of endless uses for rapid prototyping in the home -- including manufacture of actual objects for sale to anyone interested. Why not? As long as the material is appropriate for a use, one could potentially have a way to manufacture small objects and generate a light income from their designs.

Very neat technology. There was a DIY kit also floating around for object to file conversion as well -- using milk. I'm not sure where that link is at the moment, but it's probably an easy search.

“Just as MP3s, iPods and the Internet have freed musical talent”

I just had to giggle at that point; I know you’re refering to all mp3 players, but ipods specifically haven’t freed any musical talent that wasn’t free beforehand.

2300$ to get your own chocolate cookies and decorative flowers? Sounds a little bit freaky to me. However, do you know the RepRap project? It's the "practical self-copying 3D printer", licensed under GPL. Look here for more. This should also work for cookies ;-)

SCNR,
