Yup, I just had to have them. Separately. Sometimes I bring the scanner with me when I need to scan a lot of documents for work. As a journalist, I work with lots of documents that are yet to be digitized. The beauty of using Linux is that old hardware can still work perfectly. Plug and play. Epson printer (can't see what model) that has a continuous ink tank and next to it is a Canon CanoScan Lide 25. I have to tame the wires at the back.
Been umming and erring about which photo to pick today, but think this was probably the coolest thing I saw today at dev8d - a printer that can 'print' objects from plastic.
See dev8d.jiscinvolve.org/2010/02/25/reprap-the-self-replicat... for more info
I'm way behind on commenting and replying to comment - I'll do a big catch-up at the weekend.
What a child's photo looks like when you print on the wrong side of the paper. More like pilot error, I guess. :-/
This managed to take all of yesterday to do, (mainly because I was trying to get a texture that complimented it)
This is what would happen if a printer got shot!! lol
Feedback/crit is always welcome!!
All done in Illustrator plus one free texture
Started printing, walked away, laptop went to sleep. After forming the main blob, the filament got stuck on the outside of the printer, and the extruder walked up it, creating the waterfall effect on the sides. It's actually kind of pretty.
A big improvement, in my opinion. I love all the desk space. I could even use more, but it'll do for now. There are still some things I'm going to change though. Eventually I'm going to get rid of one of the shelves hanging up on the wall. Then I'm going to get rid of the clunky CRT television and hang a 48-55" LCD HDTV up on the wall where we can monitor network traffic and ESPN. Then I can move my printer over against the wall and use the extra space for more laptop building area. Or maybe stick a Mac there.
Last week I took my printer apart to clean the mirrors. This picture was so I would remember how to put it back together. I think it looks really cool inside of that thing there.
MIT research students have invented a 3D Printer accessory which is capable of attached to any desktop 3d printer. It detects and 3d print different models on the print plate by laser scanner and its custom printing software.

Special Thanks to the folks from AltLab in Lisbon for answering all my questions about their CupCake 3D printer and for printing the microformats logos. There was some trial and error to get the settings and temperature right, but i think they came out great!
You can download the file from thingiverse to print these yourself if you have a 3D printer.
converting my microcarve V3 into a 3d printer, also using reprap heat bed and gnexlab electronics and control with mach3, wtih a mbot 3d extruder
Finally got this running sweetly. Three problems:
1. Loose drive sprockets. Fixed with allen key.
2. Wrong skeinforge profile. Fixed by copying them from the github repo and manually clearing out the .skeinforge folder and putting them in.
3. Wandering filament in the extruder drive - it kept on being squeezed out of the hobbed area on the drive bolt. Fixed by printing a special little shim to drop into the extruder chamber to keep the filament in place. Unsubtle, but it works. www.thingiverse.com/thing:14502
