LIX WORLD'S SMALLEST 3D PRINTING PEN (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDWsCEU8HQs#ws)
"3D printing" was already a bad name for additive manufacturing, and now it's being appropriated by these motherfuckers. Or is it supposed to be "printing" as in not writing cursive? I only see the idiot in the video using it for dumb art stuff.
So yeah, fuck this thing.
r u mad
This is the video I meant to post:
THE SMALLEST 3D PRINTING PEN IN THE WORLD-LIX (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Yh5FH7Q8MA#ws)
Listen to that dummy prattle on like an idiot. He doesn't even explain how 3D ink works in the video.
shrugs
it's a vanity project that the average person will think is really cool, so i have a feeling it will get funded. i don't see any real practical application for it though
It's a novelty item. I don't really find it offensive.
"little things can do bigger ideas"
clearly an advert for the lesser endowed males
maybe if you could fold and unfold "3d drawings" into 2d drawings this would actually be useful for engineering purposes and blueprints?
i can draw my ideal home and then live in it, looks good

You have a feeling huh?

"little things can do bigger ideas"
"This exceptional pen is a small and smart pen."
Too bad it can't teach you how to not sound illiterate.
i wonder how long the stuff that comes out of that pen can last without breaking
"Essentially, Lix 3D printing pen has the similar function as of 3D printers: it melts and cools colored plastic, letting you create rigid and free-standing structures, which can be formed in any imaginable shapes."

With that syntax, I'd say about 0.7 seconds.
yeah well i can't say i'm surprised. i've seen much dumber projects get funded. i still can't get over the absurdity of this one (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1251371853/forever-spinning-top).
At least that guy can orate without sounding like a total dingbat. Give him a break, rtil. He's just following his dream.

also this
all this 3d printing stuff seems like a gigantic waste of space because it's 'cool'
It's a gimmick and if they don't get their shit in check someones going to make something like this that's much more practical.
the 3d printers that can manufacture working parts and stuff are cool. these pens are just silly
i should probably specify that i know 3d printers have some awesome engineering potential but i doubt most people will use these kind of things for stuff like that.

this is another one of those things that has no real practical application. i don't think any 3d modeller would really want to use this.

I just wonder how much my collection of figs and BJDs will decline in value once 3D printers become household fixtures. It will definitely be a dream come true for fucking pirates.
Also I'm pretty sure similar technology is being used on factory floors to design airplanes and deathrays and junk from heavy metals. Oculus Rift is still scarier though.

it might be lame but that's one of the only things i can think of that i'd use a 3d printer for, at least for now. when 3d printers get really intense then i'd see much more uses for them but for right now most of the consumer ones are all designed for smaller things. unless you're a company and own a giant one for manufacturing purposes or otherwise.

it all makes
a bit of sense now.
