Battling it out now with the bank for a small  personal loan for the printer. How the hell I have to do that is beyond me - the numbers are there, good scores, yet they're being idiots about approval because of "history" how are we supposed to get more history if banks don't give it to us? Don't get it.....

The problem is that because interest rates are so low, there is not much extra income for the lender to cover risk of default, so they are very, very careful who they lend to these days. I would try converting and printing some examples through a commercial service such as Shapeways first, keeping in mind that their printers are far more capable than any an individual could likely afford...
