crazy ... lols but they didnt produce visible big objects out of it :)
printing on such scales big objects would be totally crazy ....

I envisage a future combined process that has multi-scale printing so large objects cab be printed directly but with microscopic detail included as necessary.

Waiting for a makerbot upgrade.
Also for arbitrary and multiple material support.

Eventually, you'll be able to, for instance, cheaply print your own computer's individual components, right there in your backyard. Test out that new fractal design of yours and share it cheaply with at least that part of the world which also own such a printer.

And makerbot, if that were to get such nano-scale-printing-technology, is a pretty cheap 3D printer, designed for home usage and for the capability to print copies of itself.
