Cool. Once these things are self-hosting, it's going to be the beginning of the beginning.

  I'm not sure if it's possible, the part that heats up the material can't be made from the material with the same temperature of melting as what it prints.

    It would have to be a different technology.

      Ceramics or epoxy seem like to candidates. Something that has a curing step of some sort. Do you think you could make a kiln out of the same sort of material it is designed to fire? Two or more printers that together can be self-hosting seems like a possibility to me. The only limitation would be size and price I think.

        It imagine something like electric welding for metal components.
