[HH] 3D Printer Round-Up

[Tom Metro]

Here's a 15-minute YouTube video that compares three 3D printers:

(Companion written review:

)

It covers the Up! Mini ($900), the Cube 3D ($1300), and the Solidoodle 2
($500~$700). The first two look like mass produced computer peripherals,
rather than the boxy home-brew designs typically seen in this price range.

Are we just a few years away from seeing a sub-$500 printer at BestBuy?
(Well, Staples, as its questionable whether BestBuy will still exist in
a few years.)
