lol "An owner of a 3D printer recently told me that "having one really exposes the impotence of… not having one. For instance, I needed this little thingie to hold a shelf. Took 30 minutes to design and print. And where would I get it otherwise?!" The answer, of course, is "at a nearby store" where they have a box full of these thingies at about 20 cents apiece. Of course, in a couple thousand years, his investment in the 3D printer |
00:15 |

will repay itself though the continuous printing of thingies." |
00:15 |

of course, printing something structurally critical like a bracket holding weight is a great application for weakass-plastic 3d printing |

so you gotta wonder how long it took the guy to dick around with his winblows cad software to create a bracket |
00:18 |
ben_vulpes |
although the notion that you can design any 3d part of any utility without inventor or solidworks is pretty lulzy |

situation today is that most folks would not even notice a promise broken by hardware |

there are interesting things to be learned from the ada approach, if you can pinch your nose and get past the 'ick factor' |
