The possibility of printing in glass is now a reality, mesmerizing, and beautiful. This very much reminds me of using the E3D's hot end, the Volcano creating large structure layers which adds to the aesthetics of the item as well as the overall structure.

So i received a email today telling me about Formlabs new resin TOUGH! It looks like it currently only comes in one color, a cornflower blue semi-translucent resin. It is supposed to be tough, durable, and used in a variety of ways where ABS is normally used. From the video and the gif below, the results are pretty impressive! However the sticker price for 1L is the shocker, $175.00!! More expensive than any of their other resins! I'm not sure this is a good thing as other companies are producing similar (normal) resins at a fraction of the cost, and its only a matter of time before a similar (tough) resin can be had for cheap. I guess this is similar to Makerbot vs other fdm manufacturers, the highly visible company has to charge a premium for their "brand" even though its the same chemicals in the end. But if people pay for it, who am I to judge? For me personally I'll shop around for a better price, or dare I say attempt to create my own! :)
