Discontinued desktop 3D printers on the cheap

Cory Doctorow 1:24 am Tue Dec 8, 2009

The Invision LD 3D-Modeler printer has been discontinued and is being sold off for $5,000 a throw — it uses Laminated Object Manufacturing to produce low-rez 3D models. It's not going to let you print other printers, AK47s, high-grade pharmaceuticals, picture-perfect edible omelettes, but, as the news story notes, "this is a great system for schools or hobbyists since the cleanup process is entirely physical with no heat or chemical based secondary processing required. At $5,000 you can't do better."

$5000 Printer Available Now! (For a limited time)

(Thanks, Rich!)
