The cupcake can use a number of plastics. You can do amazing stuff with one. Using it only makes sense if you need some small number of them. For one, clearly make it out of wood. For 20 to 50, a cupcake would be fine. I'm not sure that the standard Cupcake can handle the length, it might. There are also folk who expanded the bay so they can make longer stuff. Its all open source, anyone can change it in any way. I know several of the folks who run makerbot, known from a group of geek in Brooklyn. I don't know anyone who has one :-) but I have been tempted. Carpenters have been doing cool stuff with wood for thousands of years. Its idea for custom work. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ Touch mailing list Touch@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/touch
