Recent newspaper reports suggest that 3D printers could be used to make hair follicles to cure baldness. Now, if that proves to be true then the market will explode....

One of our members has expressed an interest in buying a 3D printer. I have informed him that, at present, he is unable to pick up the mouse, put it to his lips and say.."4" Twin AA Turret, 1/60 scale, 3 off." He may wait until this capability is incorporated in the next gen versions :-)

Perhaps a couple of (our) generations down the road will see that happening.

I had a call from a lad in our local club, asking if I could print some parts for him. When I asked him if he had .stl files for the bits, he was surprised. He had in his mind that we would only need a picture and the machine would do the rest.

I have just seen in the Practical boat owner about criminals using 3D printers to make replica security tags for containers . Some one always finds a new scam .
