I wish I had a 3d printer. Those things cost a pretty penny.

ZCorp printers are complete crap, its powder held together with an ink binder, that part if it were 1/1 scale would only cost about $200, we have a Zcorp and it doesnt even get used anymore,,,

hahah and going back to the article its not even a color printer that machine is a POS...

That's a 12A housing. The water o-ring grooves aren't a perfect radius on that piece. They are a series of straight lines.
