Yes, that was me. Do we know each other?

Someone once engraved some maps for me, but for the most part other
people don't seem too interested in 3D printers. I agree with you;
they seem tremendously useful. The main problems I see are: 1) No
accessible method of creating the files for the printer. 2) Most
objects at any usable size take hours to produce.

Even with these limitations I would still love to own one. How much
are they now, $200?
