  • It's not pointless at all. It's a modern tool. Tools are used to make things. What things? Well whatever use anyone can find for a tool.

  • I bet the first paper printers were slow and useless too. The technology has to start somewhere. Once you can queue print jobs (with a drop basket or something) then it'll become immediately more viable. Just leave it running over night and come back the next day with precision crafted parts for your prototype.

  • A person I know who is really into DIY projects bought one. It is pretty much the best tool he has ever bought.

  • ok this is cool and all i=and i would be most interested to try one for my business, but - to actually make something looks extremely hard to do as i have never done anything in 3d graphics before, so it seems i need to be proficient in 3d graphic design and rendering, and considering the amount of time this would take it kinda makes it hard to actually get on of these and use it practically. now if you could sculpt a prototype then scan it like other 3d printers out there, then i would be keen

  • this would be cool to have .

  • ...or you use an LCR meter :P

  • @silageman Sure. If you want toxic plastic in your bodily orifaces.

  • could you make a double ended dildo

  • we got hover cars >.> there still working on them >.>

  • Could you print soft latex?
