To quote Bare Naked Ladies, "If I had a Million Dollars..." I would give some serious consideration to the newly announced FUSE 1 from Formlabs.

https://formlabs.com/3d-printers/fus...ntent=main-nav

Way to much money for me $10,000 for the printer and another $10,000 for the powder recovery system. It would give you basically a smaller version of the setup that commercial 3D printers use for SLS (Selective Laser Sintering). The TESTED YouTube channel went to Formlabs to look at this printer and Formlabs said that one of their engineers printed a pedal and has used it to commute to work for the past year. That is quite impressive! Once these printers come down (cloned by some Chinese manufacturers) I might have to start saving my pennies. Right now all my pennies are spent on tires (why are tubulars so damn expensive?).
