Dunno, have you seen the hobby world? Change the jacket material, maybe add a few strands, and you're laughing. You may, or may not need the 20A to be continuous after all.
I used to worry about high currents thrown around electronics these days. I don't anymore. Check it out:
- 100 amp mosfets in TO-220 packages with the thin tab. First time I saw this I thought it's going to catch fire. Lots of cheapo UPSes work like this now, and they *do* pass hundred of amps through the flimsiest of materials. So it gets hot, so? It'll last one day past the warranty and that's all it needs to do.
- Brushless motor controllers for RC toys. 35 amps through 14 gauge wire with 200C silicone sheath. Hey, it only runs for 10 minutes anyways!
- 180 amp brushless controllers. Motors the size of a Coke can rated for 6KW. Yes 6 kilowatts. Granted, they're water cooled, but I would have thought this is the equivalent of a tankless water heater and the boat could have just worked off the steam generated!
Obviously, previous design rules WRT to current were too conservative. Look at your dryer plug, and look at a RC boat's (or any battery powered toy) connectors. But I predict fires in any case as manufacturers start counting strands in the wires...
My point is that you are wrong about the timeline. You brought up extremes, presumably because you don't like being wrong, or worse, corrected. PS: In information processing, we're already well beyond anything sci-fi thought 28 years ago. Go ahead, read some 3 decade old sci-fi. You're amazing.
Yes, putting a few micrograms of colorful water on a sheet of (mass-produced) paper is an argument in your favor. It's the same thing as using wildly different materials in three dimensions to achieve all kinds of material properties.
Not there it ain't. Why are you always so eager to be wrong about stuff? Even if the plastic melts away, what makes you think the stuff left over will melt together? If it could melt together, why even bother with the plastic stage in the first place? Yeesh.
K Eric Drexler wrote The Engines of Creation in 1986. Whatever you think is called "nanotechnology" today isn't even close to what is described in that book.
In some cases, yes. I have several vintage oscilloscopes from the 1960s and as I find new plugins off eBay, some of them have broken knobs. Other people have 3D printed new parts, some parts are made in a mold.
This is the molded skirt with numbers underneath. I don't know why he calls them "remanufactured", he made them from scratch, you can even tell the notch was hand-filed.
There are some 3D printed feet and knobs that I can't find pics of right now...
No. You don't get to re-define every single century-old manufacturing process as "3D printing". You 3D nutcases have plenty of hype and overpromised enough now. Enough already.

Stuff's gettin real, y'all.

Beautiful.
Because the government ensures a limited supply! At least that's how it works in Montreal.
For little people, you better believe it's a competitive free market. Not so much for the big fish.
I'd say if there's worms, it's not much of a bright IR source.

Which has precisely nothing to do with Shapeways. You went from plastic gewgaws to SLS. For no reason. You're amazing.
I don't think e-ink is the same as glass. You're amazing.
You're amazing.

I get the feeling there isn't too much thinking happening when 3D printing is brought up.
You're officially insane. How does this foe/friend crap work here?

If a backwards place like Quebec can manage it, so can you!
Wow, all that and you still made the basic it's/its mistake!??
It's 3D printers all the way down, apparently.
It's just plastic *filled* with the _dust_ of these materials.

Yeah but that means the Tesla Industries Two Thousand would be called Titt.

I think I've seen her on Plenty of Fish.
Maybe if we put seatbelts on cellphones, would that help?
