I was watching a show about Jeff Dunham and he showed how he made the son of Achmed the dead terrorist with a 3D printer. It was amazing. My daughter is fascinated by them.

All the parts are printed by a 3D printer.
$500 is within the range of discretionary spending for toys.

So now we can buy a 3d printer and print guns cheaper than buying a gun? Awesome!
