[SML] 3-D printers

[taco at peak.org]

In my childhood, there were doors in schools and other institutional buildings with a greenish-cast glass window with blocks about that size. Haven't thought of that image in a long time.

I've got the $200 Monoprice Select Mini 3D printer.... works amazing 
(for a $200 printer) - but the bed size is about 4.7 x 4.7 inches, so 
about a 4 inch "glass" block (or face of a glass block) could be made.
