Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.

It's the future of personalized chachkas until someone learns to use real materials and puts 0.01mm precision into those thing-bots.

Maker-Faire looks like a high-tech, nerdy version of macrame and paint-by-numbers.
“Christ has no body now but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks with compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he walks among His people to do good. Yours are the hands through which he blesses His creation.”

Kind of like an Altaire.

You do realize they call it rapid prototyping for a reason.

Make a working prototype get $ 10,000,000 venture capital, profit!
