3dMonstr 3d printer
Here are detailed specifications:
http://3dmonstr.com/?q=content/3dmonstr-specifications
Price will be around 2500 USD from smaller machine.
On Kickstarter soon.
http://3dmonstr.com/
Update (5/1/2013):
3dMonstr is on Kickstarter now:
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/breytblat/3dmonstr-large-industrial-grade-quad-extruder-3d-p
3DMonstr key features:
- Its build volume is impressive. The smallest of its family is 1 cubic foot; the middle is 3.375 cubic feet, the largest is 8 cubic feet.
- It has four independent filament extruders, each with its own temperature control
- You can print small things on a big printer, but you can't print big things on a small one. That's why, whether you're printing large or small, we want to make sure that you could do so in fine resolution style, printing 40 micron layers.
- The extruders are attached to the machine via a QuickMount release making it really easy to switch them in and out and trivial to adjust their height. Just drop the extruder to the glass and go.
- 3DMonstr was built to last. It's like no 3D printer you've seen before. Made from industrial grade materials, it's incredibly sturdy and rigid. When people see this printer, they say, "Now this is serious."
- 3DMonstr printers are designed for future growth and built to last through rapidly changing technology. We wanted to build a structure that could push the limits of what future technology can throw at it because we want to be able to print more than plastic. After Kickstarter is over and the machines have been delivered, our focus will be on advanced extruders. That's why we needed to make sure we had a structure that could handle strong materials and high thermal stress.
- One of the biggest, ongoing frustrations and complaints of 3D printer users is the calibration process. It's not the kind of big we were going for, so we took the calibration solution a step further, and instead of trying to make calibration easier, we eliminated the problem by designing a large part of the problem right out of the printer.
- A nice touch is that 3DMonstr is foldable. This way, if you don't have a large workspace, you can fold it flat and tuck it away. You can also quickly remove the gantry from the table bed for easy transport. It comes apart and can be put together with no tools, in just a couple of minutes.

Construction of bamboo geodesic dome with 3d printed connectors
Assembly of a geodesic dome made with bamboo and a 3D printer from colaborativa.
This is a timelapse video of the assembly of a geodesic dome made with bamboo and a RepRap 3D Printer. The prototype was assembled for the first time in Scarpia XII (http://scarpia2013.blogspot.com.es) on July, 2013. The experimental design is based on the work of Buckminster Fuller, domerama.com, effalo and Colaborativa's own designs and it is shared with a creative commons license.
3d printing is very useful for production of geodesic connectors and hubs. I think that there is still lot of space left for much more innovation and improvements (ie. connectors for square boards etc.) .
There are several deigns on Thingiverse:
http://www.thingiverse.com/search/page:1?q=geodesic&sa=
Here is another interesting project that connects 3d printing approach and geodesic structures by design software and building elements production:

DIY digital camera with 3d printable shell
Arduino powered DIY digital camera that looks easy to make and has modifiable 3d printable enclosure.
Picture taken with the camera:
From project page:
Detailed build manual and files:
http://www.instructables.com/id/3D-Printed-Digital-Camera/?ALLSTEPS
Project by: Randy Sarafan (http://www.instructables.com/member/randofo/)
Picture taken with the camera:
From project page:
This is a 3D printed digital camera that you can build yourself. By making your own digital camera, it takes away some of the mystery around how such devices work, and are fabricated. Also, it allows you to fully customize the camera to your liking. You can expand the circuit to have new functionality, or design your own custom case by modifying the 123D Design build files.
While this may not be a high-resolution digital camera, it is nonetheless very rewarding. This camera allows you to not only build a tool, but be creative with it. Being that this iteration of the camera does not have a screen to preview the pictures, it operates a little bit like a traditional film camera in that you don't immediately know what the pictures look like. This adds a bit of surprise and excitement when the pictures are finally transferred to the computer from your SD card and you see what has transpired. In the age of immediate gratification, slowing down the creative process adds a bit of magic and mystery to the whole endeavor. In fact, all of the camera's imperfections and digital glitches give the pictures taken their own unique character. For all of these reasons and more, this camera is a ton of fun to shoot pictures with.

From project site:
The DIY Cellphone is a working (albeit basic) cellphone that you can make yourself. It can make and receive phone calls and text messages, store names and phone numbers, and display the time. It builds on the hardware and software in the Arduino GSM Shield but extends it with a full interface, including display, buttons, speaker, microphone, etc. The source files for the cellphone are hosted on GitHub (hardware, software), which also includes an issue list where you can file bug reports or request enhancements.

Future of 3d printing replacment car parts
Big companies probably won't allow printing of parts that could endanger car passengers safty if they fail because of liability issues, but will probably allow printing of "cosmetic" parts and non-essential structures.
Maybe there will be secondary / grey market ... car parts can be expensive ... or hard to obtain in certain situations ...

GolemD 3d printer
Enclosed frame GolemD DIY 3d printer from Poland. Looks interesting and simple relying on aluminum sheet box for rigidity. It could be adapted to use it with heated chamber.
Technical specifications from project ReRap wiki:
Most of the build instructions are in Polish (but hey, that's why google translate exists)

You should check the full gallery of the 3d printing event in Kielce with many printers and what looks like great atmosphere. Poland seems to have very vibrant, innovative and productive 3d printing community.
http://centrumdruku3d.pl/dzien-druku-3d-relacja-na-zywo-z-kielc/
Technical specifications from project ReRap wiki:
- Aluminum composite shell body - did you notice how a simple cardboard box is rigid while assembled - same principal
- closed chamber - after installing front shield
- 15x15x15cm working volume
- 25x35cm footprint - plus Z contraption
- yegahD extruder
- single head or multiple with bowden
- nema23 for Y and n17 for other axes by default
- 12mm glides - uniform, stainless, aluminum or just some cold forged pipe.
- slide linear bearings
- bended aluminum single piece Xcart
- only ca. 200g of printed parts
- enclosed PSU and electronics - single ATX and Sunbeam/Teensylu in this case
- plywood and molded versions to come
- parametric openSCAD design
- ultra easy to correctly assemble and cheap to build

From project website:
Aims were:A stack of discs are placed into the “in tray”. An arm moves over to the stack and grabs the top disc. The disc is then lowered into the drive tray. Ripping takes place. Once complete the disc is removed from the drive tray and the arm takes it over to the “out tray” and places it there.
- Modular software and hardware design
- Open source
- Reliable
- Low cost
- Using off-the-shelf electronics
A Raspberry Pi is used to control the robot and a PC is used to control the overall process and the ripping.
