It's Steve (now in blog form)

My birthday is coming up on the 3rd and you guys only need to scrape together $7500! I know, it sounds like a lot, but you haven’t seen what I want. I’m going to put together my own replicator.

Ok, it’s not a full on replicator that could make something as cool as some sort of egg laying poisonous mammal. It could however render a plastic copy of most solids up to, and including, 5″x5″x5″. Here are the component parts:

The Desktop Factory – What could be cooler than a machine that can “print” 3 dimensional designs in plastic?

NextEngine 3D Scanner – I can’t believe that I don’t already have a rotating laser scanner.

So that’s what I want for my birthday. I figure about 6 people actually read this stuff, so it won’t be so bad if you split it. Then, at long last, I can achieve my dream of mass Star Wars action figure production at home! Screw you, George Lucas!
