2 extruders is a huge plus. not much else stands out at the price about it. I'm looking at entry level though and this on the upper side of that (still smallish build volume) or even mid level (2...

make it less plain. Show something printed with each filament. I'm not buying a reel of filament, but the idea. "Ooh, cool glowy thing"

If I had 1 printer I would give it to me (just being for real here). If I had one to give (it couldn't be me or I had 2 printers). I would ask a younger tech minded friend if he could use it. or...

looking at picking up a printrbot or mini stossel

I'm just getting into this.

1 Price
2 print size
3 Filaments supported
4 upgradability (to improve 2 or 3 above without buying a whole new printer)

I think medical will be huge first. custom splints, braces, (replacement parts is so strange to think about). Dentistry - think invisiline. manufacturing - replacement part models will be sold in...

car parts, I had a plastic water hose crack. I would have considered this at the time to fix it.

Holy crap! Shoes?!? no way! The kids would love custom shoes. Using the filament as is, not printed is a great idea. Very inspired by the site. Most likely first printer would be a printrbot. If...

I plan on using a lot of glow in the dark... seriously

Sparking my kids imagination in tech. Allowing them to see it not just for the tech but how it can be used. (100 glitter ponies will probably come out of it but what follows the realization of the...

A mech. preferably a posable atlas.

The artifacts are pretty cool and would look great in some faux metal or wood filaments.

In games and toys maybe add custom games pieces category for board games. Nascar monopoly pieces... a fun...

... on my list of printers. it looks awesome while printing, has a rather compact footprint (easier on desktop)

I like the relevance like the mono enclosure and the many ideas and quality of the ideas shown. I'm sure you can't send the jet engine to everyone interested but the skull or something like that...

ability to integrate objects/components into print (leds, speaker, motor) a bit pie-in-the-sky but awesome new features is why you pay the big bucks for top of the line printers.

variegated
glitter
edible (mint)
wax

variegated/camo something that could give a print more personality than a plain color

anything flexible. but the faux materials like wood or bronze look cool too

The bamboo looks nice. Glitter would be huge if it didn't clog

The Tick would be awesome! ...and mostly one color.

I would say Thor with hammer of course

I'm not sure if there is anything that isn't covered that is available. So if some filaments I have suggested elsewhere come about... edible (think 3d print mints), or wax filament, conductive

Recycling failed prints and custom filament. 2 very awesome uses

FYI adafruit is where I 3D printing first stuck with as a way to make cool...

multi-color - would make a simple print look finish with out painting. A camo anything would be cooler than a solid color thing.

edible - 3d print a mint

wax - 3d print candle

The workflow from model to printer. "printer" suggests a simplicity of command+P and click OK. 3d printing you have to have the right format, slice it, send it the printing software which...

http://3dprint.com/22225/stingray-3d-printer/ looks pretty awesome for the vision.
