And once you build it, you can print the parts for another one.

It's a good idea, but my brain started to melt when it came to the demonstration walkthrough.
I'm not very good at engineering.
I get a little lightheaded playing with Lego.

This is completely relevant to one of my assignments and one of my classes at the moment! Now I can be a nerd and share it with my lectureres.. B-)

My high school wanted to buy a 3D printer until they realized there was no way in hell the school board would pay for one with that price tag. The one they wanted didn't even make plastic stuff, it used some kind of paper pulp or something to make prototype constructions.

I wonder though if buying the plastic tubbing to make some things will be more expensive then going to the store and buying the already made product, for the average consumer. I can see it being very helpful in experimental situations, for working prototypes.
