Yeah, Makerbot seems to be the most affordable as far as I can tell, but the kit is still gonna be more than $600. Another option is to upload your file and have the finished thing mailed to you. Shapeways does this and it seems like a respectable business. What I like about them is that they can print in metal and ceramic, while I think Makerbot still just uses ABS.

I will look more at Shapeways. I didn't know there were other 'additive' type printers that work in metal. I just assumed CNC owned that market. Humph. Thanks!
