Do you think 3D printers will become popular? I know they're

>>1222852
Currently I do not.Maybe in ten years

>>1222852
>> PSH.... Thinks 3d printers aren't popular already.....

>>1222852
Remember when 3D guns were a controversy despite being basically ineffective? Those were the days. Fun times.

>>1222852
I thought they were but it feels like they only exist in science museums, its weird.

Yea I do, I use the 3D printers at my uni quite often and know a few people who own some at home. They are very easy to learn how to use and can print just about anything you can imagine. Ive printed screws, plasticwear, and even some custom made medical devices. Saw a dude on k print out a functional 22 revolver

look for them to get popular around 2018-2021

>>1222852
THey will become popular when the materials needed to print become a lot cheaper

It's 10 dollars a kilogram you jew fuck.

3D printers are already as mainstream as they're gonna get. They're shit technology that's prone to jams/shutdowns that print paper weights. You dumb faggots can't name a single thing you'd 3D print, but want to claim they're next level tech 3.0 web- bubble inflating cock nobbling rug eating dick wettening technology.

Fun fact: 3D printers are technology from the 1980's that's over 30 years old now. Thanks to the wonder that is patents, a legal monopoly has kept 3D printers out of the hands of everyone until now, when the patents on the shitty versions of 3D printing are beginning to expire. Chances are that when you think of "3D printers" you're really thinking of the 3D printers of the 1980's. Modern 3D printers, which nobody can use because patents, would astonish you.

tl;dr: fuck patents for needlessly fucking things up yet again

2d guns are much more effective.

Also, this is still an issue, it's just that consumer 3d printer is still on the enthusiast level.

In a few decades, every household may have a 3d printer, and kids printing guns will be a legitimate issue.

Not until the materials improve or 3D printing metal is feasible.
