Look what I spotted this afternoon while wandering through cube land. The green spool is raw material being fed to the print head where it's melted and deposited on the flat surface. Just thought it was interesting. Not as fancy as the 3D printer that Coop mentioned in his post but still pretty cool. Enough to distract me and made me forget where I was headed. I'm easily distracted.

The printer came with models of it's own spare parts so you can make them ahead of time. They are the small white pieces next to the putty knife (which is needed to remove the output from the print surface).
