Engadget Experiences the Solidoodle 3 3D Printer

Posted by timothy on from the strong-enough-to-stand-on dept.

Engadget reports that former MakerBot employee Sam Cervantes has brought to market — or at least to Engadget headquarters in prototype form — a working, cheap(ish) 3D printer from his own company Solidoodle. Originally, the new Solidoodle 3 printer was announced at $500; the price has crept up to $800, but that still sounds like a bargain in the world of home fabrication. Unlike the current MakerBot, it has no built-in card slot, so a computer connection is required for the length of a build.

    But can it print up a good site UI for engadget? Seriously, that site is hideous.

    No one gives a shit if you think the site is "hideous." Your fucking interior decorator nitpickery is what's fucking hideous. Go home and hang some nice chintz curtains, or arrange your lace hankies, would you? You fucking fop. You effete, snobby, point-missing, useless waste of life. If I could color the characters in this post rainbow on black, I fucking would, just to put a twist in your snarky, worthless, and probably stained, knickers, that you no doubt limp-wristedly dragged on over your Calvin Klein socks.

    Whoever chose that font over all those busy images needs to be taken out back and shot.

    And I'd re-post this whole fucking message every time you posted if I knew who you were. In Comic Sans.

    I guess that's what you get when you run a business using mostly unpaid intern labor...

    Ooooo. Aren't WE the presumptuous one? Maybe it's just your TASTE that sucks.

    You fucking twunt.
