prating replica parts for this purpose
Where does the $100K figure come from? I think the pocketfactory guys are using a RepRap
variant, which usually weigh in at less than $700 for all the parts. You can get
pre-printed kits for very nice variants of the extruder (the most involved part) for less
than $300 off eBay (doesn't include the stepper, but it can use $20 NEMA form factor
ones).
I don't think the quality would be *as* nice as the original, but unlike the DEC
switches, they'd be available.
