Merge Conflict 41: Print me up, Scotty

Is 3D printing poised to change how we prototype and build parts and full machines or is it just another toy? Both Frank and James have been long time 3D printing advocates and with prices coming down to consumer friendly levels it seems like it is a great time to jump in. However, as James just recently experienced it may still be early days filled with tons of headaches and thrown away print failures. We discuss the past, present, and future of 3D printing on this week's Merge Conflict.
