    An entire article and thread and so far not even a single mention of RepRap? Being able to print the motors was like the single biggest hurdle left for that project!

      Reprap currently only prints in plastic. You need metal capability, which can be done but is harder to build. And then you need whatever newly patented tech was used here, which should be available for use in about 20 years.
