The first 3D print was in 1981?!? That was a long time ago. I love this new method of printing. I could really go crazy with a machine like that.

I have used these machines - They are AWESOME - But instead of print lines (Which they do have BTW - ) You have areas where you have to break off the support structures and sand them down.

Overall, the prints are way better than other additive methods, but still not "flawless" out of the gate

Also - ALL The printers that use this technology print and eiffel tower because the design is such that it doesnt need the extra supports a "normal" object does

This kind of printing is called SLA or Stereolithography
