What's to stop you from borrowing someone's 3D printer and printing yourself 3D printer, rather than buying one?

Just checked the date.
Nope, not April 1st.

Because it's still in prototype phase? Stupid question.

Those posh working class heroes will be complaining about the lack of 3D printers.

It would explode, just like the internet does if you google ‘google’

Maybe we can 3D print Lego pieces to cut costs as well?

8n reality, you buy the cheapest 3d printer then use it to print the parts to make it into a higher end 3d printer. Know a couple of people who did this.

Our president already lives in a house made of Ice Cream, Aras an Uachtar Reoite

When you can 3d print the plastic used in the 3d printers, we'll have an infinite supply of trinkets nobody will ever use.
