Something Awful is pretty well known for our hot 3d printer talk and I figured we could all post here in just one thread about 3d printers instead of bringing up all of that 3d printer talk in unrelated threads.

Also please no 2d printer talk here.

Thanks. I'll collect all of your rad 3d printer links here in the op.

Someone was all like, THEY CAN'T PRINT TIME! Dummy.

Someone over at a little rag called Washington Post says this thread is THE PLACE to the get the latest news and greatest gossip about 3D printers. Alright!

It's actually pretty impressive that you 3d printed all that, and in some ways poetic.

Hopefully it's a step in the right direction for various museums to begin respecting maker-art.

The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
why has no one made something cool, like a clock, from multiple printed parts? is it because 3d printer enthusiasts are all dumb and gay and can't visualize part assembly so they have to make stupid hunks of poo poo like octopuses?

no, it's because anyone capable of designing and assembling such a thing by hand will use cnc like a grownup

Sure if you don't mind it running out slow/fast several minutes for every hour it is kept running.
Resolution of most printed parts suck is what i am getting at. You would probably be better of whittling gears from a block of wood.

e: I 3d printed this post. It took me several hours and well it contains a load of spelling errors but THE FUTURE.

I went to a show and there was a booth thing where they take your photo with like 12 cameras at once from all different angles then you give them $200 and they make a 3D print of you on one of those full colour powderbed printers. That was sorta cool if massively overpriced and kinda narcissistic (unless you like give the print to your nan I guess but that's a lot of money for a nan)
