Very true, cjd. I don't think powder SLS will make it into the hands of home makers for many years, unless they figure out a better way to keep the stuff safe. You see the technicians there are wearing Level C HazMat suits when working with the stuff in powder form. The advantage of it is that you can get some very complex prints in a variety of materials, which makes it quite appealing to makers like myself, who have some designs that wouldn't have made it out of digital form any other way. Plus I wanted to offer some of them in metal options, like stainless steel and gold or silver plated.

I have some tutorials that illustrate shapes that could be done on home printers, but you'd need to add supports, and that would make them difficult to clean later. Some people have done them successfully on home printers though. I recommend MeshMixer for adding supports. It has a feature that could add them automatically to most objects.
