        It would take a lot of sealing and finishing to make a usable mold from 
that output. I also fear detail would be somewhat limited by the paper 
thickness and more lost in the sealing and sanding steps.
        I have been looking at "3D Printers" and the new generation of ABS ones 
seem far more practical as they require very little finishing and there 
is no risk of delamanation of the layers. At the same time the prices 
are not all that much more. It is an interesting idea though.
