I couldn't have dremeled that up. Neat!

There is nothing, not one thing that a 3d printer can make for me that is usable. Until it can make auto parts, household items, parts for my lawnmower or my refrig. or SOMETHING useful.. Its just junk.

3-D printers have got to be close to the top of the want list of so many hobbyists, especially table-top wargamers and model railroaders. The Dremel brand is a natural fit and a commonplace brand to these people. Unfortunately, these prices have to come down by more than half before it becomes feasible for more than a tiny niche of this niche market.

too expensive. outside of putting it together and getting the parts for a whole lot cheaper then the reprap community which should mean the price point should be about 699.

@S Michael Clearly you have no idea about 3D printing or simply want to provoke with your post ;)

how much are the print cartridges for these things?

The ideal 3D printer would be the one that can scan a 2D/3D image and then turn that into a 3D object made out of plastic, as far as the medium is concerned instead of all these 3D printer using what looks like fish tank tubing of different colors, why not use all the millions of discarded plastic bottles or for that matter why not make a 3D printer that can repurpose used plastic in general now that would be the ultimate 3D printer, Maybe I was dreaming,

That is a fantastic price, with not to bad resolution. Available at Canadian Tire and Home Depot. Incredible. Take a look back at were this market was a few years ago. I wasted $1600 dollars at the start of this year on a 3D Printer I purchased of indiegogo (Rapide One) and it still has not been delivered. I wish I would have waited.

http://www.stratasys.com/industries/automotive There does seem to be 3D printers that can make auto parts, at least according to the above site.
http://www.gizmag.com/local-motors-strati-imts/33846/ If they can print a whole car, why not car parts?
I think this is neat. There are some 3D printers that are quite affordable. I think 3D printing is the new way to make things.

@S Michael - Either you lack imagination or you are not well informed about 3d printers.
Check out this article: http://www.mtu.edu/news/stories/2013/july/make-yourself-save-lot-3d-printers.html
It has a good write up on things they made with a fairly primative printer that came out well and cost a fraction of the store products. It saved them considerable money not to mention all those things that are not easy to buy like the lost peices to a board game, custom jewlery molds, etc.
There are now fancier 3d printers that could easily make things I'd like to have around the house.
If you are into miniatures or models this one has potential: http://b9creator.com/.
If you like things with a bit more color: http://botobjects.com/
This one can make huge objects: http://www.gizmag.com/gigabot-3d-printer/26594/
Electron Beam Melting 3d pritners are still industrial machines, so come with an eye popping price tag, but could easily print parts for your car, handy if your vehicles parts are out of manufacture.
Or you could just print the car: http://www.gizmag.com/local-motors-strati-imts/33846/
