    While doing research before buying my 3-D milling system, I had a
    conversation with someone representing a Rapid Prototypeing system. 
    The conversation eventually got around to the actual cost of
    operating/maintaining such a system.  He said that it would not be
    unreasonable to expect to spend $1000+ a month for maintenance on
    these machines for replacement injectors, heating elements, etc. 
    Just wondering if these machines have become more durable over the past 5 years.
