but I think it might be!
Fuck it 🤷🏻♀️ my uncle dropped 8k on a 3D printer post-divorce, and if working on a lil art and engineering makes him feel better I can support that.
In case anyone is curious, the printer in the picture is 1100x1100x820 mm and costs $50k USD.

I built a 36" x 18" x 18" by welding a Prusa style aluminum frame up from scrap aluminum plate, and running the bed on 8mm rods and bearings. Dual Volcano 1.2mm hotend, it prints nearly as fast as that. It has about a dozen 110V heater pods mounted to the aluminum/glass bed. I’ve printed some big things on that since I built it about 8 years ago.
I might be $500 into it.
My AI girlfriend says she is in there waiting to get out
If some one wants to buy me one, I’ll be happy to report back,

An Opinion article by Michelle Cottle reading “Is the Cure to Male Loneliness Buying A Huge 3D Printer?”
Below is a photo of a man using an Extreme 3000 Pro 3D printer with a drawing of a crying man standing to the side and watching him.

Prove you are a human
I am a human.
I am a human, and I can verify this user is also a human.
Just last meal time we enjoyed stuffing foodstuffs into our primary face holes to acquire energy. Afterwards we used said face holes to communicate inanities to each other. We then ingested ethanol to impair our brain function and attempted to create more humans by mashing our ridiculous meat bodies together.
Checks out.
Is…to print sex dolls? Is that the goal? Building the girlfriend?
fucking microplastics
And macroplastics
sounds good!
Nah, you dont need to print the whole woman.
No, there is no goal only you’ll be so busy calibrating and optimizing and upgrading the printer you won’t have time to be lonely.
There is only printer.
Already a reality here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2iaMCmOrh4
I just got a huge CNC, will that work?
Depends on the number of axis.
anything below 7 doesn’t count
We got a baller over here!
:swooon:
Getting back into 3D printing is doing wonders for my depression.
I’m designing a tabletop war game.
3d printers are the new classic car that needs a little bit of work.
I have a 3D printer, and a Suzuki Samurai. More than a few parts for the 35 year old Suzuki have been printed by me.
Why not both!? I’ve used one to make parts for the other.
I have been making parts for my FIL’s 61 Ranchero. I have made almost every gasket, the heating couplers, and dash knobs.
I’ve made a few logos. One of them I used to make a stamping die that deformed some sheet metal. Worked shockingly well.
I’ve also made a simple phone mount and a lens for the glovebox. My ultimate plan is to make the housing for new headlights, but lack of time and wanting to scan rather than measure the sheetmetal opening has slowed me down on that project.
How do you use a car to make parts for a printer?
I’ll tell you what, using that points distributor on my Lulzbot has sped up printing considerably! Unfortunately the print nozzle connected to the 401 nailhead sure makes the Buick hard to start.
No!.. but please continue! 🤔
It’s the cause too. Unless you find a hackerspace.
I’m pretty sure the cure for male loneliness is HRT
Why?
Because then it’s female loneliness…
