“How 3D printing changed my life”
Salon.com: John Mackey, the founder of Whole Foods, was in one big exhibit room talking about conscious capitalism. Guy Kawasaki, legendary Silicon Valley marketing whiz, was in another huge space, talking about the future of Google Search with an esteemed Google Fellow. Half an hour before the sessions were due to start, long lines to get into both presentations stretched like lazy serpents throughout the cavernous Austin Convention Center.

Coolest part of this is the picture. The article says that the printer on the right was printed by the one on the left. I know it is possible to do (and that is absolutely the coolest thing ever) but this guy is helping people out by giving them the instructions and supplies to print their own. As the 3-d printing community gets bigger, people discover newer and better ways to accomplish absurdly cool things. And there is no way that the price isnt going to get reasonable within a couple years already at $500. As soon as it is I am totally going to get one and spend at least a few days just playing with it before I use it for anything useful.
3D printer inception here, thats crazy. I guess I hadnt thought about that possibility before you could use 3d printers to make more 3d printers. I love 3D printers and I really would like to get one but at the moment even the most basic ones are just too expensive. So hopefully the cost of the technology will decrease so that more people can afford them. That would also help innovation with 3D printers and more people could come up with creative uses for them.
This guy sounds really cool. And I love his love for 3D printing. I think that one of the coolest things about the culture that comes with 3D printing is the sharing of ideas and stuff. People meeting up and talking about what 3D printing has done for them is really cool. I also love that he used a 3D printer to make a 3D printer. I hope that more people start to find a love for 3D printing just like this guy.
