I think it will be very doable in many applications in a couple of years. We are already making replica buildings for clients using this technology in plastic. Its evolution to other materials will not take long. Nor is it prohibitively expensive.
I think the person who made this video should continue smoking tobacco, and not become a vaper. Maybe then, we will be spared future idiocy of this type...
I apologize for that post,i was only trying too show the potential of 3D printing mods,i should have posted a better vid.

Mamu is already using them to print a screen bezel for dna20 chips...wont be long until someone with 3d modeling and/or autocad experience models a mod.
They can do many items in stainless steel already

What do you think?
I think someone should Check and see what that Dude is Smoking in his Pipe. LOL

I have access to a 3D-Printer. It is Very Cool. But the one I use only Prints in ABS.
Problem with ABS though it is Very Brittle. You can make some Wild Things. Just don't Drop them. Because they will Probably Break.
I'm actually saving up for a 3D printer so I can print my own wild pipe mods with it. Among other things.
Be sure to check out How Much the Printing Material Cost.
Anywhere from $25 to $150. Depending on a lot of factors. I do not recommend getting a printer that only takes proprietary feeding systems.
Yeah... That is what the Owner of a Company I do Contract CNC Programming for.
He got a 3D Printer thinking he could Re-Spool the Print and Support Material Cartridges for next to Nothing. It turns out that the Print and Support Material Cartridges are Chipped so that they Don't work after a Certain amount in of Inches have been Printed. And to make matters Worse. The Print Head uses a Non-Standard Diameter of ABS.
It is still Cheaper than sending STL's outside to be Printed. But Not That Much.
3D printing is great, assuming something is made out of one piece. Most things aren't, however, so there would still be a need to assemble a finished item form the various pieces; not to mention the electronics involved. Perhaps if I were to go into business selling mods, one might be in order, however, spending $1000s to save $200, or so for a ProVari doesn't seem wise.
