 Hello everyone this is Dan from Smoke Cartel and here in front of me is a very special collection of water pipes from Cade Maid. These water pipes are special because they are 3D printed. If you're not familiar with how 3D printing works it's very similar to a 2D printer. Only layers of molten plastic build and build on top of each other to form an object. Maybe if you or someone more manly than you has ever built a house out of bricks it's a very similar principle. So first you start with the computer model and then the printer takes that model and with a tiny nozzle builds it with molten plastic. And it doesn't get much more precise than a computer. 3D printing started as kind of a novelty but it has become a very powerful building tool. So it makes sense that they would use this technology for one of mankind's greatest achievements, the bong. The way bongs work does require a lot of precise engineering. So bongs and 3D printing go together like peanut butter and jelly and weed. It comes in a few different varieties but all the designs are very beautiful. As you can see with this one it has bands of color represented by the layers of molten plastic. And if you look really closely you can see that all the bands are kind of beveled and textured and you can actually make out precisely where the computer started on to a new layer. There are a number of advantages to using a 3D printed bong. One of the biggest ones is that they are shadow resistant and extremely durable much like a silicone piece. But unlike a silicone piece they're not malleable so they retain their shape. So in a way you could think of it as combining a glass piece and a silicone piece but that's not really it. It's kind of its own new thing. So it gives you a lot of different advantages and it makes these pieces definitely some of the most unique you'll have in your collection by far. You can definitely expect to see a lot more smokeware utilize this technology in the future because it's relatively new. So check out our collection of 3D printed bongs on our website SmokeCartel.com because they're definitely unlike anything you've ever seen before in the industry.
