Part of the success and 'feel' of LEGO are due to the close tolerances - ~.01mm. This is an order of magnitude (or two) greater than my RepRap Mendelmax on it's best day. However, it will be a great boon to the LEGO community - as they will now have greater access to non-structural, unlicensed parts such as guns [1] and the ilk.

True. I read once that only 4 bricks in a million are defective. Who knows, LEGO's .01mm accuracy might become the mark by which 3D printing measures itself someday.

  I'd bet that day comes by the end of the decade.
