The lawyer babling about copyright on the end was entertaining.
I need to find a way to legally import this thing in my country, but in related news is there a way to recycle plastic into these filaments they are using ? If so then I could get cheap material from dumpsters.
We had a 3D printer at the university where I taught — great fun! We also had a laser 3D scanner, so we could scan parts into the computer and render them back in 3D. The “ink” was relatively expensive, though — about $10 for a cubic inch of plastic. (I know, volumetrically much cheaper than inkjet ink, but when you want parts that are roughly 6″ in linear dimension, it adds up!)
I’m still waiting for one that can do semis/μCircuits.
However, it seems like a man could eke out a nice little JIT startup with one of those for a fraction of the student debt required for a phony-baloney Ivy League degree.
How durable are the assemblies made from this method?
