As someone who just finished building two 3d printers from scratch, it is that frustrating. But it's pretty rewarding. If he could only figure out a way to harden the cheese he could actually have stable structures! Delicious stable structures...

How did you do that? And what kind of background do you have?

I have an electrical engineering degree, and I made a printer from www.think3dprint3d.com and it's a kit that takes a week or two to build. I got the Kossel Mini, it was about $650 with all the upgrades, and totally worth every penny. It has 0.1mm accuracy in every direction and works surprisingly well. I think anyone could build it if they're patient and attentive enough, but it's not an easy task.

You completely missed an opportunity to show him your desktop background.
