    I've been looking at LCD displays on eBays and am kinda lost. Too many options, too many slight variations. Can I...

    True, but in some cases it's a cheaper way to get your first printer running. I went with a melamine frame for my i3 Rework build (that I'm starting today), but plan to upgrade it to Aluminum in the...

    Ugh. Capitalism, how I loathe you.

    It's too early to start locking down designs. There's simply not enough out there, and it would stifle a growing industry. Eventually more and more "Premium"...
