Metalab movie

Here is a movie from the German hacker space Metalab showing one of our extruders at work on a regular three axis CNC machine, as well as some of thier results. I love the star shaped box!

So what are you printing the ABS on?

looks like surface milled clear acrylic

Here is a link to a blog tracking their work:

Interestingly they appear to be using a milled ABS surface made by reclaiming old printer casings. they also say they have greatly reduced warping by heating the base while printing. Has anybody else tried this?

Fascinating. That wouldn't be that hard to do. BTW, sheet ABS isn't that difficult to come by.
