I want a 3-d printer Santa, just one so I can do stuff.

You're not the first person I've seen express a desire for one of them. They must be super special.

I don't think they're super special. It's a gadget, just like any other Man toy. I just know the hubs has been looking at them online, and sighing wistfully. It's not something he would get for himself, not a 'necessity'. I hope he's surprised, I had to sell a shit load of tie dye to be able to afford it. He better play with the fucker for more than a week.

They've come down a lot in price, since they first came out. Amazon has cheapies for around $200.00

I got this one, based on ratings in PC Magazine:



It was priced out at $1,100.00 but I cashed in about $500.00 in gift cards that I've collected over the last few years - Now I just have to get the filaments.
