You could always ask somebody else to buy it for you. 1) You send BTC to someone 2) They exchange the BTC or keep it 3) They buy the printer and ship it to you.

3d printers can cost anywhere from $600-$30,000. The best "non - industrial" 3d printer is probably the maker bot replicator 2 it costs $2,199 . You can print a lot of things using a 3d printer. Here is a site where people share their designs: http://www.thingiverse.com/

I checked Amazon yesterday, Cube is out of stock, I purchased directly from Cubify. But there are definitely cheaper ones, you can built one for less than $500 at reprap.org but it took me 3 months!

I am on a replicator 2 from Makerbot. The tech is bleeding edge, so get ready to spend some time being frustrated. Also, you need to know how to 3D model, or you'll be somewhat limited on what you can make. When I finally taught myself to 3D model and worked out all the kinks on my replicator2, I made some pretty amazing things, though. Currently working how to copper plate my models to make interactive 3D circuit puzzles. You should email Makerbot and ask if they will take Bitcoin, it doesn't hurt to ask does it?
I should say, though, a replicator two will run you in excess of 20BTC
Best,

Copper's melting point is ~1100 and at those temps creates massive problems with oxidation which destroys its properties. http://www.copper.org/publications/newsletters/innovations/how/howdo_tube.html

I have personally built a reprap and mendel, not bad for 3d printing but I need to calibrate it once in a while to get it to print well. Fans in your room will affect the plastic build too, so make sure you keep the room air condition/wind/temperature in a "stable state".

I am aware you can MELT copper, however there is sensible process for additively manufacturing with copper. Some people have tried it with SLS but its just.... no.... It doesn't work out too well and you need a KW laser. SLS machines are also not very office friendly due to the dust/atm control and lasers.

You can get the cheapest ones from China, sub $1000 but that's only ABS and PLA.

Remember that increased speed = decreased accuracy, regardless of what the max resolution is, and running at a better resolution = increased time. 3DP is all about tradeoffs.

If they can print with metals (maybe lower melting point type) that would be fantastic. There are some relatively low priced (like, sub $15k) metal printers, but they are more for prototyping parts, and don't offer the machining tolerances and resolution your probably want in a production printer. It lays down layers of some sort of aluminum/plasticized binder and then laser cuts each layer to spec and starts on the next. Finished out by cooking off the plastic/binder and you're left with a 3D printed metal part, albeit a stratified, low-quality, fairly low-resolution metal part. If anyone in the dirty south picks up a MakerBot 2, let me know. I will pay you to let me come over to your house and press the start button for you. Bam...made my own AR receivers, no firearm transfer in the mix.

If everything else was equal, yes. If you want to compare screw driven, flimsy repraps to linear bearings and rigid frames... it's another story. It is not considerably larger or smaller than any other 200x200mm printable area model... and compared to anything else that's assembled and ready to print, it's not expensive. I wasn't interested in building a printer, I was interested in printing. I get great looking, dimensionally accurate parts. The only problems I've had have been with the QU-BD extruder.

As you increase the speeds, the cyclindrical melt acts and deposits very differently.

Cubify is cool, but their filament refills cost more than double the real price of filament - expensive and shipping is also outrageous. Shame on Cubify for trying to make proprietary "ink" cartridges!

In general I would recommend using shapeways if you can afford it. If you have time and energy and like to tinker then a home 3d printer may be better. I think the newer Makerbot printers are going to be consistently reliable compared to their earlier models.
The biggest problem with home printers is the extruder. I'm using a modified QU-BD extruder. Using Bart Dring's modifications, it's one of the best. You have to make sure you have no play in the bolt hole on the extruder bearing arm, or you're going to have problems. I don't use PLA. Mostly ABS and a little 618 Nylon. I've got a heated bed. With and abs/acetone slurry, ABS parts stick very well. Most of the time I can get away with just painters tape.

You could always ask somebody else to buy it for you. 1) You send BTC to someone 2) They exchange the BTC or keep it 3) They buy the printer and ship it to you. You could always ask somebody else to buy. And you will always pay more than you would pay buying by yourself

Did you get the printer? I'm sure there are some people who'd be willing to do a custom order for a slight premium. Depending on what you need it for and the price your willing to pay, the replicator 2 is very good. As a side point, the 3doodler is quite cool. It's more of a toy though rather than anything useful.
