Rutibex posted:3D printers are dumb. its 1000% easier to machine things than to build them up layer by layer Counterpoint: 3d printing(and additive manufacturing a a whole) is a useful tool that has it's place. It will never replace every facet of manufacturing, but it has had a significant impact on many aspects of it and for the better. Case in point, I'm working on a new type of knee replacement system that has a much shorter and less costly design cycle thanks to both plastic and metal (DMLS) additive manufacturing. Instead of waiting for a quick cast knee implant from the foundry we can have a printed metal one out of the same material inside a week at 20% of the cost. PM me if you wanna see pics from the cadaver lab we did a couple of weeks ago.

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:To overgeneralize, it's good for custom work but not for mass production True. Although, there is a niche market in additive manufacturing for making large, short run production enclosures for machines and appliances. In my other life, I manage a machine shop that makes parts for various atomic force microscope manufacturers. One of them uses an AM outfit down in San Diego to make their machine covers because tooling to have them injection molded would be around 250K, and their scopes are somewhat revision heavy and get changed a lot. So, 250k in tooling would just go right out the window every couple of years. 3D printing got way too much hype a few years ago, and really the only good thing to come out of it long term is that there are a lot of younger people who think manufacturing is cool again. The next big trend for home 3D printing will be very large format printing. That'll probably happen once they find a reliable way to move away from the filament that FDM machines use. This would enable much larger designs like functional furniture and hobby stuff. But, that would be limited to enthusiasts who would be okay with a machine like that taking up most of their garage or den. True, ubiquitous home 3d printing probably won't happen like the hype train said it would,(download file from Amazon and print your thing instead of buying it) but the craft industry is something like 20-30 billion/year and thats enough of a pull to keep the home/hobby machines going. Also, if you own a 3D printer you get to subject yourself to seeing a wall of 3D printed Rick and Morty meme poo poo

It isn't just about being hip, it's also about living where there is a strong job market- where you can work for three years at one place and then apply to better jobs that pay more to advance your career. It would be nice to think we could all work for 30 years at dunder-mifflin's Scranton PA branch but they were bought out by Sabre and laid everyone off

In the UK the biggest problems for the expansion of cities is that your tescos and walmarts have bought up all the brownbelt land outside, not to build but to stop each other building stores. I guess in the states with bad transportation the arsehole of nowhere really is the arsehole of nowhere.

In the US people/business are actually moving from expansive cites to more cost effective ones. Pittsburgh has a up and coming tech industry and Austin/Houston have been growing as well as people look to move to cities that actually have stuff to do and can still afford a place. But yeah living in the middle of nowhere US sucks. And there is ALOT of middle of no where in the US.

I mean home printing is now maybe 30-40 years old and it still completely sucks rear end and no reasonable person would sit and print a book or newspaper at home. And that is worlds simpler than 3d printing.

poo poo, there's a company called EZ Log that sells small home/cabin kits. http://www.ezlogstructures.com/products/ Slap a decent sized one of those on an acre a few miles from your city of choice and you're in business. Pieces come numbered. Tools are rather minimal. A group of motivated people could easily put it up in a week, or a few lazy people could knock it out in a couple months. It would take longer to line up permits and utility work than build those cabins. They are pretty ugly if you don't like the wood look.

/\ keep in mind they're meant to be lake cabins and second home, rarely visited type homes. And yeah, they're ugly as sin. Interesting concept though. Actual log cabins are hard to get right and generally packed with mud or clay to fill the gaps. If you're good with wood and tools you could easily just line up a delivery from a lumber yard of dimensional lumber and build one of those cabins yourself. The thickest they sell those cabin walls are 2.75 inch. You could easily outdo the strength of that thickness wall by building with 4x8s. 3.5" thick walls will stop a lot of poo poo, especially when 2.5" of it isn't empty space.

That guy is not your average "decent with tools and wood" guy. And his lifestyle is way off course if you want to live anywhere with codes. A lot of those cabin kits can be had with all engineering plans. That guy gets it right. But he's an exception. And an exceptional man.

They should just convert under-used parking structures into cuck shack plots. It's already divided up and access is pretty easy for wheeled vehicles. Can re-purpose EV hookups as trailer hookups.
