i just did a quick quote and a 5x5x5 inch carved out of american oak is $302 USD.

looks cool.

wow, looks great and cheap! (quote page works)

Jasp

yep, my bad, it works fine.

Still not really affordable for me, but less expensive than i thought.
i might give it a try when i'm not broke.

Joao Sapiro

way over priced , but i guess all these kind of things are, when tehre is enough competition then ill think about this, when its affordable

fabricio's ego just grew even more! he barely fits into the office as is! =P

looks great, but i would make that directly in wood- more interesting)

ericdigital

out of wood!? That's crazy I didn't know you could even do that. I would love to see how its done.

JohnnyRaptor

Im gonna hold off till there is a marble option...

Mark Dygert

I liked it better when it was done by the 3 fingered guy who also juggles chainsaws.

But seriously that's amazing.

You could probably get this done much cheaper at any place that owns a CNC machine. That's what they're probably using.

I'd imagine it would be even cheaper if you bought your own wood locally. Getting a company in europe to make something out of american wood is always going to be expensive. Over a thousand euro for a piece of wood 35cmx18cm? That would be ridiculous where I live. Even for some fairly exotic hardwoods.

dudes, if you don't mind making it lowpoly, just try papakura, and make your own cheap little desktop model....

i'm still waiting for those stand alone personal prototyping/print machines to be realeased cheap..

Interesting how all of the 'photographs' are renders, though

Or if they're photographs, they sure tried very hard to make them look like renders. hard to tell in those tiny pictures, ofcourse
