I suppose one could alter the source file to provide bridging supports to the extremities, and then cut them away after printing. A certain amount of sanding/grinding and polishing is required anyway to achieve desired results. One probably would have the joy and satisfaction of a sculptor in carressing a work of art in the making, a modern Venus. The wife asks what are these machines good for other than as toys. They don't understand men's needs to play with toys (or art). Many new technologies have their R&D paid for by prurient interests, and it will be so with this one as well. Such is progress, and as it improves so will the joy of many hobbyist artists. Now, if only robotics would catch up to the dreams of men.
