Yes, I noticed a couple of these on 3ders.org. Here's another one:
http://www.3ders.org/articles/20130821- ... axing.html I'm not sure how I feel about "all in one" machines? I would get frustrated if I needed to mill something while it was printing something.

Also, if it goes down for repair, you are out 3 or 4 processes instead of one.

It would be cheaper for an "occasional" maker but is there such a thing?

If I was to design an All in one machine, it'd look like like an octopus, all the hardware in the center, with multi-axis arms flailing everywhere so it could 3d print,mill,cnc,high-five, etc.
