$3000 Factory

Got a small product you'd like to produce but don't feel like finding a factory in China to do the work?
Makerbots have solved the problem with 3-D printers which use spools of ABS plastic (kind of looks like WeedEater string) to render usable objects from 3-D images sold online to form finished products which are less than 4"x4"x6" in volume.
At less than $1000 for the deluxe kit (You have to assemble the bot yourself.) one can have a small factory in ones garage for less than $3000.
