RE: 3d printers and accessibillidey with jaws or a ios app

Low enough in price for home use depends all on your interpretation of “low 
enough”. There are definitely some out there for under $1,000, but you get what 
you pay for. Our public library here had one donated to them and a couple of 
years ago they invited me to come there with my guide dog so the little kids in 
their reading program could read to my dog. The idea is that kids may fi nd 
there is less pressure when reading to a dog then to an adult. It was great fun 
and of course the kids had a blast, my dog, Radar, was just new then and I had 
only had him for less than 2 months and at only 19  months old he was a fairly 
young graduate. He was still very playful and had a lot of puppy in him and the 
family who raised him had two little boys so he loves kids.
Anyhow, as a thank-you, the lady had made me two little plastic models of labs, 
one sitting and one lying down. They are maybe 2 inches and quite nice, but she 
said on the little printer they had she started the print job in the evening 
and let it print over night because it took many hours for the printer to print 
one of these things.
I think if you want anything half way serious you still have to pay maybe 
$1,500 or $2,000.
There are lots of plans out there of things you can print, but I think 
designing something yourself would not be possible for a blind person.

Sieghard

hi Mitch,
I too would like to know about 3-D printers and access ability, particularly, 
with iOS apps. Plus, any experiences people have had with them either working 
with them or just observing their products.
