3d printers are technology

3d printers are technology

look at this 3d printed clamp

Wow you used overpriced meme tech to build yourself some 10cent chink clamps

dam son how'd u DO THIS?

wow, they made a handscrew clamp worse by making from shitty plastic. Probably cost more than making one out of wood too. The future is retarded. Get yourself some tools and you can make anything easier and 100x better than this printer shit.

I think thats the joke friend. You shouldn't be so cynical all the time :/

>wave of the future

Shit design too. As soon as you get any actual force o. Those, the threads will flex and disengage from the screws. Split threaded rod is such a fucking retarded idea.

3d printer have its place but not a shitty plastic clamp.

You probably can use 3D printers to do "that plastic thing that was considered obsolete and requires you to replace your whole sink/dishwasher machine/fridge".

>tfw using my 3D printer to print parts for my 3D printer
It's like fixing a hammer with the same hammer, I love it

Damn!
I so want to download a clamp now.

Look 3d printed legos

can a 3d printer print a 3d printer?

Not entirely, but many do that as much as they can.

I wanna print guns but I don't have the money for a printer.

None of the core parts can be printed

wake me up when I can print pcbs

XD

>3d printed clamps
What can you clamp with them? A stack of papers? There's no way that piece of shit can hold a workpiece while I power tool it. And it's not that it won't hold it, it's that it will disintegrate.

man, the rate these shitty guns hurt their owner must be insane

I've been thinking about getting on of those diy printer kits. Looks like a fun project, if nothing else.

Closest thing I'd get to a practical use for it though would be printing /tg/ miniatures, and I imagine those turn out pretty poor unless you get a nicer printer

Hahaha I know that feel. At least I passed that stage now.

In fact, it's better if you don't 3D print any of the parts because moving parts need high rigidity, which plastic (as the name implies) can't provide when compared to metals.
