Anyone with more knowledge of the subject than I care to weigh in?

How did the scanner see and render parts that were hidden, like the little axle thing that screws the jaws open and closed? That was the part I was wondering about. Seems to me a modeller would have to come in and tweak that part before printing. Is that what they did, but left out of the video?

If this has been mentioned already, apologies. There used to be a link checker that told you if a link had already been posted, does it still work like that?

"The QU-BD One Up is the world's first production ready 3D printer to break the $200 barrier. It uses industry standard technology and electronics and everything is OPEN SOURCE!"

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/qu-bd/qu-bd-one-up-open-source-production-ready-3d-print

A printer for only $200 sounds very tempting. How well would this printer print miniatures like the ones in Sage's post?

e: here are representations of what you can expect from, respectively, an average quality FDM, a good quality FDM, and the Form1. The robot is about the size of one of the miniatures you're talking about.
