Subject: making fresnel lenses with makerbot
A couple of questions for you gurus out there:

 1> Can makerbot make transparent objects? I don't know much about the resins you are using...
 2> How clean/clear would such objects be?
 3> Has anyone tried making fresnel lenses?

I'm trying to break the price barrier on solar fiber-optic skylighting.  Believe it or not, it costs
about $100k to get a decent in-home system.  I believe it could be done for under $1000...
