i did a quick calculation when i saw the first isue in our newsagents in Australia. the first issue was $5 the second $10 then all the rest were $15. came to around $1500 for a printer that i could buy as a kit for under $1000... needless to say i didnt buy it.
3D printing is evolving so fast that by the time you had all the parts assembled for this printer it would be 3 or 4 generations old....
i want one to 3D print some oolite ships!!! i want a cobra mk3...

I remember watching the guy that invented the 3D printer explain why he made the driver code freeware. He said something about printing up the parts to make your own printer? Thought at the time that was a kinda catch 22 thing.
A couple of years ago I shoped around in Perth WA to convert my 35mm photo slides to digital, cheapest quote I got was $AU12/slide, $80 for batchies of ten and sliding scale for 50, 100.
Little projector thing to slide my digi camera into, couple of hundred $'s
My slides still live in boxes at the back of the cupboard.
LOOK OUT!!! OOPS.. "Press Space" Commander
If you do not see "Press Space" more often than you want.. Your not trying!
Only have a few hundred left from the repeated culling over the years All from UK and Europe. I was lucky, well not so much so I was right into photograpy and could see where it was going, sold all my gear just before digi cams became main stream. And a 1Mb pic was huge
Will re-look at scanners though, Thanks.

All of my Epson scanners for the last 10 years or so have had a negative/slide holder and the results are very good indeed.
I also noted from CPC:
Q: Why can I only deliver to a UK address?
A: Due to additional exporting charges and safety or security measures, we must be contacted first (Email: [email protected]) before we can export goods. This will enable us to check if delivery to your region is possible and to fully inform you of any charges and regulations applicable to your order.
Currently they are delivering free to the UK so you may get a discount.
