[KwartzLab] 3D printers: recommendations?

[Seth Hardy]

someone brought a replicator into site 3 a few weeks ago and it was
incredible compared to the other models i've seen... much higher quality,
and the two heads make it really great for many things, like having one use
water-soluble material.... no idea how it compares about value, etc. though.
