3D Printing update, haters: K2SO

Profit? He's losing money if you consider the TIME it takes him to sand, prime & paint. Not to mention the time waiting for the primer and paint to dry while he paces around the Miata in the garage or watching The View w/a Zima in hand. And he probably uses the air compressor's little air-jet attachment to blow off the residue from his Comicon hoodie and each time he plugs that thing in it takes a minute to reach pressure. These idle times add up man! How about the drive to Home Depot? There's traffic to account for and the .58 cents he spends to drive there and back, plus standing in isle 21 staring at the myriad of options for sandpaper. It boggles the mind really that he does this at all. He's going broke as we speak.

Let the man dream for awhile.

I'm tellin you man, we're losing him.

He gone!

You're gonna phuck ALL OF THIS up aren't you?!
You're gonna go and get hired to do this schitt full time by some production company in Kommifornia and then what?
WHAT THEN?

I'll tell you what then. You forget about GatorChatter and about all of us, about all of these intimately personal relationships that you've built and fostered.

You're a real piece of work Andy. Such an ass.

Where will WE go?
What will WE do?

Most of us will probably seek therapy to recover from the toxic, co-dependent “family” Ox created here. This could also lead to a class action lawsuit based on extended emotional abuse, but I’m just wildly speculating. It’s not like I’ve thought about this possibility for hours while sitting in the dark with a 5th in my hand. Quit trying to force me to answer these questions!!! What’s wrong with you??? Leave me alone!!!

 

[CDGator]

I’m almost positive we’re not doing first names here.

So you are saying your first name isn’t Sofla?
Next you will probably say you don’t wear a suit and a hat every day.

Holy cow, that is frikkin awesome, man! Unbelievable detail. I haven't seen any of the Starwars episodes, but even I can see it's amazing. Some star wars collector would be drooling over this.

What would you do with it if you had one?

What would you do with it if you had one?

If it were me and money were no object, I would also purchase this from Elon Musk and then make them fight.
Yours does fight, right?

Musk unveils new $20K robot AI experts call it 'utter scam'

The robot - teased at last year's event by a person in a spandex costume - was the star for the tech giant, as Musk claimed it would 'be a fundamental transformation for civilization as we know it.'

So I hope yours can fight.

Are the plans in some kind of machine language ? Or are they 3D models and converted via the printer?

Did you read DIY books? Anyrecommendations?

Seems like a pretty cool hobby.

Our library has 3d printers that we can use for free. The kids and I went to a training. Wonder what they would say if I started printing one of these.

So @CDGator and @AuggieDosta just made the exact same post. Looks like I may have a secret alias that somehow got past me. May be time to ban both accounts.

 

[oxrageous]

I'll build one of these for anyone who wants one for $2,500.

Good call.
We can get more projects done around the house.

 

[AuggieDosta]

Probably smart Ox.

I'll get more done out in the yard.

No hat.

I told you before, there's an easier way to make money with your 3D printer...

Man claims he was paid $21,000 for 3D-printed guns at New York AG's buyback event in Utica

A man who identified himself to us only as Kem saw people tweeting about using 3D printers to make guns for the sole purpose of selling them for big bucks

Yep, he could make 3D printers...

Now that is funny.

Question for @oxrageous, have you considered using your 3D printer to print out another, much larger 3D printer?

If I ordered a full-scale Millennium Falcon replica could you deliver by Christmas?

What's amusing is that theoretically you could absolutely build this with enough time and effort.
