JackIts a Ball Mill and those are the rollers.Easiest explanation you can find here with some piccys.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_millThe Ball mill is used to grind substances in to a very fine powder for experimenting and making depositable support pastes with.The support paste is what you lay down along with the polymer to make supports for polymer overhangs etcAir makes a very poor support for saggy plastic.When printing is complete and the plastic cooled the support paste is washed away leaving only the parts you want.Hope this helps.
