I wish 3d printers were useful as something other than rapid form production atm (useful to me, ofc - needs vary). I keep them on my christmas list, but I'm waiting to get more for my dollar than they currently offer.
With "2d printing" giants jumping into the fray of late I doubt that I'll have to wait long. Shit, I could get 50% for a LexMark if I drive 20mins to the factory.
I've been tempted to buy one of the Makerbots (still so expensive) just to make fake legos for my kids....but it would still be cheaper to buy the "real" legos..lol.
(the upside of this line of reasoning is that I've convinced my wife on these grounds....so I either get to buy legos and pretend they're for my kids......or I get to buy a makerbot and pretend it's for my kids -you know...so I can make those legos)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
