Imagine, years from now these printers will be in mobile hospitals and trauma units.

“3d printers kill..killed 2 people and 2 cats due to carbon monoxide”

Stupidity kills should be the headline there. It’s sad that those highly educated folks didn’t have a clue... RIP!

Source? When I run my 3D printer, I leave a window open a bit because the wife complains about the odor.

Found a source.

http://www.worldwideweirdnews.com/2017/01/29-3D-printer-kills-couple-two-cats-leaking-carbon-monoxide.html

When I saw the news about that couple, I didn’t realize it was due to their 3D printer. This link says it was a 3D laser printer. Mine is not that type, it just heats filament for ejection through nozzles.

That turned out to be a hoax.

A 3D printer did not lead to the tragic death of a couple in Berkeley, CA
