	... $23 million to promote the commercializations of 3D printed sports cars. that will be a drop in the bucket for a promotion, commercial or even personal manufacturing is a long way and billions of dollars off. __________________ “ When people get what they want, they are often surprised when they get what they deserve " - James Wood

	I have no doubt the owner will print one and if he uses FRP, (fibre reinforced plastic), his schedule will be flexible.

	On my printer, whiles it's printing, I'm normally already doing revisions to the print, for the next print. __________________ “ When people get what they want, they are often surprised when they get what they deserve " - James Wood

	You do know they now have electric printers these days that plug into the wall. That poor hamster in your clock work printer must have been really tired. 18 hours to print. That must have been a whole suite of drawings.
