Question: how is the 3d printer going

Colin Keogh answered on 13 Nov 2014:

The work we are doing is going well, we are trying to max it print as high a quality as possible, testing materials for strength and trying to print complex shapes & parts.

The printers themselves are very delicate, so they break pretty often, so they are not going terribly well. But we just have to rebuilt them regularly to make sure the run properly.
