Zee did you just miss-spell addictive, or did you really mean additive?

I did mean additive in the sense of adding to one's collection of tools.The intended pun was 3d printing is an additive process whereas most of our tools are subtractive.But addictive it can be.
Blackadder: Right Baldrick, let's try again, shall we? This is called adding. [gestures to the beans on the table] If I have two beans, and then I add two more, what do I have?Baldrick: Some beans.Blackadder: [smiles, impatiently] Yesss... and no. Let's try again, shall we? I have two beans, then I add two more beans. What does that make?Baldrick: A very small casserole. Blackadder: Baldrick. The ape-creatures of the Indus have mastered this. Now try again. [helps him count] One, two, three... four. So, how many are there?Baldrick: Three.Blackadder: What?Baldrick: And that one.Blackadder: Three... and that one. [waves the fourth bean in front of Baldrick's face] So if I add the three to that one, what will I have?!Baldrick: Oh! Some beans.Blackadder: [pause] Yes. To you, Baldrick, the Renaissance was just something that happened to other people, wasn't it?
When I first saw Chris and Jo's last posts I thought they said "Bladder". What a "Relief" to see I was mistaken! Jim

As someone "who would never want to own one" and "would find no use for one"; I have been following this thread with unexpected interest. It certainly seems that with a bit of extra work, it is quite possible to make a 70 quid printer do something which could be useful (but I am still unsure what that something useful may be).I am starting to think that £70 may be a cheep as chips way to find out. Besides it could be an incentive to get on and learn 3D CAD. I have been promising to do that for a couple of years but have still to make the start.So a few simple questions:a) Is it clean and smell free for use in the office or is it best in the workshop?b) Where does the "slicer" software reside? In the printer or in the PC?c) Does the printer need to be connected to the PC, or is it stand alone?Mike
Following on from a very nice visit from Vixen yesterday (I hope you are still displaying self control and have not ordered your printer yet Mike )Jo

I am sure I have proved them right as I placed my order as soon as I got home and now patiently awaiting the arrival of my own 3D printer. Mike
