Yes, I'm an active observer of the reprap project at metalab, as part  
of last nights adventures I watched a new generation of tooling going  
on to refine the resolution of the metalab-reprap machine.  Its  
awesome, truly, to see stuff being printed in 3d.

well, the metalab reprap is really a CNC machine, but it started off  
as a desktop model, albeit not nearly as accurate as it is now ..

I hit Metalab every week, man.  We're making stuff there that you'd be  
quite happy to see in use one day .. ;)
