Scientists "Print" Human Vein With 3D Printer
An anonymous reader writes "3D Printing technology has recently leapt into a new realm — we've seen printers that can create entire buildings out of stone, delicious meals out of simple ingredients, and now — perhaps weirdest and coolest of them all — a printer that can build body parts from cells!"

Who cares about printing.

Red-blood-cell-gut-and-bone cartridges are not balanced to printing needs.
You are always running out of blood when you still have nearly full gut and bone reservoirs. But they make you replace the whole cart.

had invented a printer which had provided them with a plastic cup filled with a blob of cells that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a human vein.

In any event, if anyone feels the need to make any jokes about ink cost, cartridge DRM, or other wildly hilarious topics, please just use a reference to the older comments. Thanks.
Thanks for that. I have a puppy. Want to kick it?
Omnes tuae crepidines sunt nobis sunt. Ascendo tuum!
Right in the middle of printing a new eyeball:

Perhaps you should rethink your level of politeness if you ever get a chance to ask a "kung fu MJ" to blow you. Try something a little more cajoling, and little less "likely to get your little one-eyed weasel ripped off."
Blood Type AB Load Letter, what the fsck does that mean?
Now I can send thinly veined insults across the nets
