I have been 3D printing for industrial designs since 1989. Daily I run dozens of 3D print jobs in resin, powder, filament etc. Obviously 3D printing is fantastic for accelerating design to manufacture cycles, but the current state of the technology is just a pain in the arse. It is messy, inconsistent, unreliable and plain difficult. Accurate technologies like resin produce brittle parts. Robust filaments are great, but don't have the surface quality. Filament printing in flexible plastics is an art, not a science. The 3D printing revolution you are referring to may come one day, but we are nowhere near it today.

3d printing will help with some items you talked about for one off's or low production runs. Once you are over 2000 parts, making an injection mold is the cheapest and fastest way. You can't print fast enough to supply parts for a car. Also, the comment about making parts for cell phones/military. etc. what ever. you would need the master models, other wise if you have to reverse engineer, while it can be done, that will be one expensive part. I know because this is what I do.

Agorism, Perhaps there will someday be an open source library for people to sell or share files for everything. Why can't the people, come together for each other and build a hydrogen car that lasts longer than the UAW can and it be affordable to make? Burns me up, those socialists begged for a government bailout and still making poor quality vehicles. We pay twice for that garbage.

Bought my ender for the fgc9 builds. Its opened up so many other options, electroforming to electroplating and ECM. Im not an engineer but doing CAD and this stuff is satisfying, gives me some fulfillment over my mundane life. Its a hobby that keeps growing. I want to learn some robotics and maybe build a drone.

man it's almost as if patents expiring are good for the general public and encourage competition. none of this would have been possible had the 3d printed patent expired. but also wearing 3d printed glasses and it's great, gonna get a resin printer and start printing optics

. you do realize that there is far more to the current internet then FB right? The internet did do what it was supposed to and all those idealized concepts are still alive and well on it. Not everyone uses Google or gives a shit about FB.

he knos how to stirr somee shit with his videos i got that sense also urge to controll and manipulate others is too great to this tech have it full potential long vay to people lobotomise themself to be more acceptive and cooperative

How does the energy consumption of a 3d printer making 100, lets say hand held electronics (cellphones); vs traditional manufacturing? That would be my only worry to making 3d printing the primary form of manufacturing.

Great video. I really hope 3D printers become as common in family homes as say a microwave or refrigerator. Once we can start printing out items with circuitry at a reasonable cost, the game will change and change fast.
