Comment what's the point? it can't work (Score 3, Insightful) 101

how fast is 3D printing? slow as death by clean living. so that's one notch in the handle.

can you 3D print in a moving truck? the platform and system have to be stable like a $6000 turntable. notch 2.

is a 3D print product pretty? flexible? neon colors, black, and white are what you have, assuming you are not slinging molten metal or concrete, the other two mediums in use. not flexible. notch 3, fashionistas in revolt.

so far, it looks like three strikes and Amazon is out. they spend more time on slick PR releases than thought there.

800 volts on the plates of all those old heathkit transmitters using 6146 tubes. 3000 on most linear amps. ooh, and dig those metal-ceramic power tubes with beryllium oxide ceramics, or the insulator blocks for conducted cooling tubes being beryllium oxide.

or hunting. those .22 rifles can put an eye out!

scouting, perhaps? axes, knives, and pack saws, not to mention building fires.

I won't even start with farm kids, all those types of poo, power take-offs, barn roofs, tools, welders...

and this texting and Facebook thing, well, get somebody riled enough to punch you into Jello.

there is always a way for a kid to get into trouble. don't leave them to the TV, be around and guide them.
