[quote]How big?
Did he design it himself?
If so, how complex is it?
How much did his printer cost?
How much did the material cost?
How much time did it take?[/quote]
Not big. Like I said?
Yes.
Not much.
Not sure but I know it wasn't thousands.
It's about $21 per roll
Who the -blam!- cares?
Complexity isn't going to cost more. It will take more time. It isn't going to take 100 rolls to finish it black and gold and a few others

Complexity increases the time it takes to design something dude. Also, you aren't being exact about the size, a vex is probably literally close to 10 times as big as a handgun.

We are talking about money. Not time. Yes vex would take tons of pieces no doubt if he used his. If you want it to look perfect, go ahead and spent 10 grand on the best printer out there

Time is money dude, as others have said, good 3d printer people can charge thousands for what they do. Not to mention the fact that designing the vex in software could take dozens of hours ( im guessing, i do not use a 3d printer obviously) which translates to basically hundred of dollars in income that would have been gained by working instead. Also, my initial issue was with people asking him to to build a perfect 3d printed one instead and you had an issue with me calling them out for how expensive that would be. Now you are backtracking and trying to act like that wasn't our initial argument. Tldr for the whole convo: [i]you[/i] are actually the one who doesn't know how expensive 3d printers are.

I can find you plenty that are under 1000. Want me to?

How big are they? How good do they work?

Not people trying to make gigantic things and make money off them. This is the closest thing I could find that could make the mythoclast. Even the most extensive wasn't long enough to make it in one part http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=171776674731

So can we agree that people asking him "why not 3d print kid?" are c[b]u[/b]nts?

Did you not read my post a while ago? I said I didn't read his post. I didn't know it was for a project. I thought it was just for fun. I just clicked the link.
