   100% functional? If so, that’s more than cool! I’d love to have some time with a 3D printer!

   State of the art in early 2012 is printing 100% of a semi-functional bicycle including the balls in the ball bearings in the wheels. But we’re clearly on a curve of steady improvement.

   I imagine it would be pretty hard to print an internal combustion engine because of the temperature, pressure, and tolerance requirements. But maybe a steam engine? Or, if it wouldn’t be considered cheating, how about a pneumatic engine?

   [http://www.flickr.com/photos/101633338@N04] — Cool. Can you send me a copy (address at DFJ or email me a scan of the page where it appears? I’m Steve@ and I like to see where things end up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/sets/72157594313529657.DF...), or at least a scan of the page where it appears? I’m Steve@DFJ.com and I like to see where things end up (CC remix collection).
