Figured this was as good a chance as any to balance out the negativity in this subforum. I'm happy to see this girl get the chance to experience a world that her disability would have blocked off to her, and I'm hoping as the technology spreads more kids get that same opportunity.

My school's actually installing a 3-d printer for general student use.

Of course, as a computer science student I'm not sure when I'll have an excuse to use it...

... break your mouse.
"SORRY BOSS, NEED TO USE THE 3D PRINTER TO PRINT A NEW MOUSE"

And then "accidentally" print... I don't know. Whatever the hell you like, I guess.

Print another printer.

(There is an open source 3D printer that can do this.)

Oh the early stages of nano-fabrication technology. Yes I know this isn't but personally I feel the method 3D printers use (building objects a layer at a time) is likely what nano-fabrication will use just on a smaller more precise scale. I mean if we can get this concept to produce say, food, we just kicked the scarcity market in the balls.

Do not underestimate the internet. Sure someone will find a reason to bring some hot button issue in here.

How does it do this? how does it fit another copy of itself into its own "tray"?

This is how it is done. It prints out it's component parts, and you plunk them together.
