7. Nanobots that maintain the integrity of the machine WayneHelminen (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2015 (PST)
8. Part picker and 3D printer in one that places electrical components in desired locations as the print is madeBllafata (talk) 07:33, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2015 (PST)
9. Gather "lost" energy on indiviudal parts, i.e. heat exchanger on hotend to heat water to steam and power a small turbine to recoup some of that loss. Also attach with motors since those can get hot as well. Bllafata (talk) 07:49, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 06:52, 3 December 2015 (PST)

• enable auto calibration
• enable auto leveling
• enable auto monitoring
• enable quality control
• enable real-time feedback
• make it safer (infant approved)
• make is smell good (designer imposters?)
• make it from current waste products (CO2, flyash, spent fuel rods?)
