does every kickstarter have insane, unhinged people waiting in the wings for delivery or is there something special about 3D printing?

my one wish for 2017 is that people stop jizzing themselves over loving drones. there's nothing cool or interesting about them any more, just buy the cheapest one you can find on aliexpress and shut up about it

having been the engineer in a room full of designers quite a few times I can appreciate the different approaches but designers are also loving stupid sometimes.

engineer: "no we can't make it 2mm thick, there needs to be space for the actual components"
