5-Axis Prusa Printer; and more

Lots of interesting stuff in there.  5 axis-printing?  Yikes.  I even have problems with thinking fourth dimensionally.   

The $5000 3d laser scanner is awesome -- but jeeze -- $5000!   On the other hand, businesses look at that and think -- only $5000, let's get two.  I'll wait for it to trickle down to a more consumer friendly price.   Remember when LED light bulbs were $20 each?

5-axis filament printing may seem like overkill, but perhaps it could be used to mix up fiber direction, potentially to strengthen what would otherwise be the z-axis layer to layer direction, with a 3-axis printer.

The video suggested that parts with "extreme overhangs" would be possible, without supports, because with 5-axis printing they would not be extreme overhangs.
