Thanks for posting!

I’m giving a TED talk in three weeks on the 3D printing of simple, affordable village houses. This will be a good addition to my material.

Some of these principles already hold true today. Others will come true in the next decade or two (or three).

Hmmmm .... yes. I suspect that some of these 'principles' will always be three decades in the future.

I would like to be able to print myself into the bizarro parallel universe world where things are normal.

3D printing competes successfully with whittling a part out of wood with a jacknife but cannot compete with normal manufacturing processes. And the quality of parts I have personally seen made with low cost 3D printers (one you might afford to own) don’t even compete with whittling! Frankly, I’m not sure about the general usefulness of crudely made plastic parts.

Surely someone will bring up printing AR-15’s and magazines!
