It's time for me to be clear as to my problem with robots:Some shapes just cannot be made any other way.
And some shapes need to be made better, like those 3d printed props you had to correct.
Says the guy with a pretty large pile of 3d printed miniatures on his to-paint pile.
As our lazy society drops all its ability to work without electricity, the day will come when the electrons stop flowing and no one will have the skills to 'make things' with their own brain and hands. We will all die. The traditions -- now quickly fading away -- of Craft must be maintained or we eventually die off as a species. Remember shop class in school? Bring it back... in Spades!
I acknowledge that 3D printing does what I do faster, better, and cheaper than me. It's my selfish sense of pride that forces me to reject that kind of tool.
