The device relies on sand and magnesium glue to actually build structures layer by layer from solid stone.

Okay, how long before the High-Capacity Building Cartridges are available? And will they only come 1/10th full? Perhaps the InkJet Manufacturer's have a new customer base to fleece... One slightly filled cartridge per color = PROFIT!
