Where to find a 3D printer nearby

There’s the 3D-printing vending machine model, the DIY 3D printer, and now there’s a website to find nearby 3D printers for quick turnaround on printing jobs.

makexyz.com is a simple website that allows anyone with a 3D printer to rent out their services to anyone with printing needs.

The closest printer to me, for example, is a Prusa Mendel I2 that uses ABS Plastic in numerous colors. The price: 50 cents per cubic centimeter.

Could FedEx Kinko’s (or other printing service chains) become the “Kinko’s of 3D printing?”
