www.staples.com/Cube-3D-Printers/product_SS2044291 Staples is selling them already and here is the presser for the announcement of in store printing. Imagine the car restoration dudes making new knobs and other parts from existing pieces. They can scan the existing part with this . It's rumoured to sell for $125. The makerbot printer is a better machine than the cube from staples. Doesn't use cartridges but spools of filament instead. 100 micron resolution. Very sweet. They got big funding. Started out as a bunch of friends who started a hackerspace for making sh\t and made this into a real business.

The hackerspace guys are insanely talented as a whole... a LOT of them end up working for Google and starting their own companies with their friends. My younger son made friends with some of these guys a few years ago and in that time, he's watched several of them become millionaires. Most of them are in their 20s, it's the current generation's version of 'making things in your garage' (like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs).
