The “printer” that you’ll build from this book is a personal fabricator capable of creating small parts and other objects from drops of molten plastic. Design a part using a modeling tool such as Google SketchUp. Then, watch while the fabricator head sweeps back and forth and upwards, depositing plastic in all the right places. You can build anything from a replacement tab to hold a bookshelf in place, to a small art project, to a bashguard for your bicycle. If you can conceive it and design it, you can build it, and you’ll have fun doing it!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003cem\u003ePrinting in Plastic\u003c\/em\u003e is aimed at creative people comfortable using power tools such as a table saw, circular saw, and drill press.
