Request for Reconsideration of 3D Printing in High School.

Hi Karthik,

I would like to pose a question that has come up in my mind a lot recently. This may not be the best place to post it, but I would like to know if the GDC would consider this.
In the recent years, 3D printing technology has become more, and more affordable, almost to the point where a 3D Printer costs about as much as a “2D printer” would.
With that being said, would the GDC be interested in reconsidering the ruling on 3D Printing In High School, to follow previous year’s VEXU rulings?

The size limit & part limit in my opinion should be "2 Parts That Can take up to a maximum volume of 6x6x2” In my mind, this would allow for students to be even more creative in the designs of their mechanisms, and it would allow for students to design parts that may not have existed in VEX before.

To further illustrate my point, here are some examples of sub $600 3D printers:
The Printrbot Play: http://printrbot.com/shop/printrbot-play-kit/
The Solidoodle Press: http://www.solidoodle.com/Press
The MendelMax 1.5: http://www.makergeeks.com/me15re3dprki.html

All of these 3D Printers can print in decent resolution, and can make strong parts out of ABS & PLA, which are the two thermoplastics which have been previously allowed!

Thanks For Your Consideration!
