3D printing was all the rave back around 2012. Now I don't hear anything about it.
I hate having to buy anything made out of plastic. I should be able to just print it with a 3D printing machine and the file for the 3D scan.
Why was this technology basically brought to a halt and not developed?
It seems technology is stalled since 2010.
Not much innovation going on.
Perhaps the motivation and incentive has been removed.
So you expect other people to spend time in effort into creating models so you can print them?
Are you a commie or just lazy?
Can you post a picture of your 3D printing setup?
You do have a 3D printer, right?
Once you’ve gotten your use out of the blueprint, throwing it a public forum for others to use gets done a lot. Some people want the fame or adding lots of useful stuff. Some just want to be kind. Some are autistic and want every thing in the world catalogued. I didn’t rip all the roms I have for my emulators, fellow internet rockstars did it for me and uploaded it for others to use. Depending on the community some of them aren’t full of assholes and some people give good advice and plans.
Aren't there 3D scanners than can fairly create the model for printing a copy?
I’m not aware of any good ones. I think the issue is, you have to convert your model from an STL file, which is like a geodesic mesh, into a set of commands for the printer. If you have a crappy STL file, it doesn’t convert well and can jam your printer. I think going from a laser scan of an object to a “clean” mesh is pretty hard.
So are you doing it or not?
If not, what the fuck are you complaining about?
Maybe 3D scanning technology was thwarted or defunded because of the threat of ghostguns being 3D printed. That might be the conspiracy here.
On another subject, I heard your beloved Ukraine is trying to cope with the inevitable fact that they are losing the war.
So you don't have a 3D printer and you know nothing about 3D printing.
Why am I not surprised?
You created a problem in your head and then got angry about that narrative.
Hilarious.
