I am insane for even looking at this, but there is a project on Kickstarter to support a do it yourself CNC kit for manufacturing. Not normally my cup of tea, but I would be interested in learning how to do so and I think it could be legitimately useful for my own company. Game pieces, tokens and other stuff could be worthwhile.
At minimum, I may be able to tamp down on the urge by spreading the information. I know a number of engineers in my network of friends who might be equally tempted by this. Anyone local interested in potentially sharing one? Realistically, I am interested more in the _functionality_ then the tool itself and I would be happy to just have the ability to occasionally craft something on someone else's machine.
It's also remarkably affordable this way.... Usually CNC would require more then a couple hundred dollars...
