£700 3D printer to hit British high street

Maplin has shaken up the 3D printer market with their new Velleman K8200 model. Downsides? It costs £700 and comes in kit form so you have to build it yourself - up to 10 hours of Ikea-like fumbling. But it's the first 3D printer to be released onto the UK retail market.

An expensive toy for anoraks? Or something rather more substantial and exciting? %VIRTUAL-SkimlinksPromo%
