      I think the phrase "gone viral" has gone viral so people use the phrase without really thinking about it.

        Those 3D printers are really cool, although as stated they are suitable for printing some things only. The state of the art is to the point where a marginally-intelligent hobbyist can design things on his own (in SketchUp) and send it to a print-shop for a fairly reasonable price.
        I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

          Why are you always overwhelmed by underwhelming technology?

              Evidently DaShi is.
              No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

                    If copying physical objects becomes as easy as copying files on a computer, companies will attempt to make intellectual copyright laws just as restrictive as they are with software. Meaning, don't expect to be copying wrenches! YOU CRIMINAL

                    It's not their problem their business model is obsolete. It's now going to be your problem! Get ready for $0.99 download designs for each screw or nail you need for your next home improvement project! Be sure to agree to the 56 page licensing agreement that says you don't actually own the stuff you copy and then build. If you violate the agreement by PIRATING anything, they will sue your poopy pirate pants and confiscate all your illegal criminal property... criminal.

                      This reminds me of that movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger in which he is in Mars and there is an alien woman with 3 tits, the future is now

                        You know what I really want to see? I want to see them redo Hey Arnold, except instead of a guy whose head looks like a football, it's Arnold Schwarzenegger.

                          Did they ever explain why his head looked that way? Birth defect or artistic license?

                            A professor here recently approached me to print a replacement part for a car seat. The part was practically nothing, but he said he would have had to pay $60 to get the seat repaired. The printing software's estimate was like $.05 for materials and $.20 for machine time.

                                The printing software is ReplicatorG, it slices the model into layers and calculates the toolpath. I use 123d for modelling, that prof was a Mac user so he used an online 3D modelling tool (I'm not sure which one).
