So I jumped on the micro3d on its first day on kickstarter and am mega excited about getting one. Some of the many things I see using it for is to print miniatures, print replacement or repair parts for other products and to print fixtures and cases for electronics projects.

its the last one that worries me some considering what I think is the m3Ds biggest weakness, it's maximum print size. I was looking at the reprap designs and it got me curious. Is the part size on the M3D (roughly 4x4x4 I think) large enough to print out all the printable parts for a bigger reprap? Having a larger/faster/lower resolution printer for large pieces and using the M3D for smaller higher resolution parts seems like it could be a great idea.

are their other 3D printing "tricks" out there to make larger parts on a smaller bed? (Say a bezel for a 10" LCD or a case for a 5" phone, etc)

The best option is just to have a huge printer, and one that prints with titanium or steel as well. being broke is such a bother sometimes
