Reply Subj: Yuki's hair isn't all that special. No offence to her.

      If it becomes cheaper to download schematics to and create your own sundries rather then just get them at the Dollar Store, I guess that's possible. Only plastic items can be made, right?

    Yeah, I think they'll probably remain limited to plastic/resins and the like. As I understand it, they currently work kind of like programmable glue guns, melting a tube of plastic and laying down dot after dot of it, eventually assembling the desired shape.


I've seen one of those working on American Restoration, I believe - they were making a plastic part to be sent to a fabricator to be cast in aluminum. They're really messy, though, when the plastic part is done it's immersed in this mess of plastic powder from overspray.
