Print with colonies of ants Bllafata (talk) 07:33, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Independent print heads for different materials Bllafata (talk) 07:33, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Breakup the parts of the printer so that it is locally sourced "junk" Bllafata (talk) 07:33, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Tablet interface, click on picture form online repository and it auto downloads, slices, and sends the gcode to the printer. Bllafata (talk) 07:33, 1 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:42, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Nanobots that mate with nanobots of the connecting part WayneHelminen (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Nanobots that maintain the integrity of the machine WayneHelminen (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2015 (PST)
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)
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)
Printers hooked up in parallel to print large parts together. Bllafata (talk) 07:44, 1 December 2015 (PST)
Reduce waste by reducing the number of failed prints due to poor bed adhesion by having a quick adhesion test before long prints Bllafata (talk) 06:59, 3 December 2015 (PST) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:01, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Reduce parts by reducing a 3D printer to a pen-like device where you manually control the extrusion of the material. Bllafata (talk) 07:02, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Camera and slicer overlay to check to see if the print is going as planned WayneHelminen (talk) 07:18, 3 December 2015 (PST)
3D scanner, part picker and printer all in one (scanner on the arms of the printer/three different head atachments) so that you can place an item in the printer and have it scan, move and print a replica WayneHelminen (talk) 07:15, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Large scale printer with part picker to create buildings WayneHelminen (talk) 07:12, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Array of printer heads that simultaneously print array of parts WayneHelminen (talk) 07:12, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Not segmentation, but printing in a vacuum so that you can print in ‘space’ and not have to print on a bed WayneHelminen (talk) 07:12, 3 December 2015 (PST)
make certain joints on the 3DP detachable/movable to “build” a larger printer from smaller printers. WayneHelminen (talk) 07:04, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Segment the printer head to have different channels to print two materials simultaneously (maybe even at different temperatures.) WayneHelminen (talk) 07:04, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Attach printer heads to robotics arms to reduce print time and reduce overhang. WayneHelminen (talk) 07:04, 3 December 2015 (PST) Bllafata (talk) 07:06, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Reduce cost of materials by having a reclaimer break down objects to base components to be used in printing. Bllafata (talk) 07:06, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Easier to maintain by sensors knowing the next likely part to fail, and printing the replacement part for it. Bllafata (talk) 07:09, 3 December 2015 (PST)
Make the frame of the 3D printer out of spent fuel rods so that the printing environment is warm to prevent warping. (also provides a heated bed) Bllafata (talk) 07:17, 3 December 2015 (PST)
