    yes, real human societies are sexist. in general and as 90%+ true statement, men are different than women, and need different motivation than women. in asia they don't BS themselves about this. but you can imagine whatever you want, your society is losing to asia, and once it sinks low enough the BS known as feminism evaporates into thin air, and women will be FAR worse off here than if they were in asia where they could have a career

    ABS is fine for some applications, but molding is superior to printed work for several reasons. Funny car recalls have been done because of using ABS under the hood when metal should have been used (to have parts of ABS components replaced by guess what), it doesn't do well after prolonged heat exposure

    We don't even know the order of magnitude of the number of species on Earth, estimates range from 2 to 100 million. We've cataloged almost 100,000 of them.

    But must spend money on war for power and profit, and projecting power for intimidation; what possible good could come from wasting money on understanding life and how the universe functions?

    You are self-deluded, nothing you have done is of any consequence to reducing world's pollution or changing the growth of fossil fuel use. That lies in the realm of engineering, of people like me. I have done work in power plants that have zero carbon emissions, that's actual real step toward the goal. "Activism" is not.

    You can make a custom handgrip for your tool without a 3D printer, just grabbing one of several available self-hardening blobs of goop wrapped around a tool. Some would require using greased rubber glove while squeezing to make grip.

    You want to be a real maker, get some metal, drill set, file set, a couple micrometers and scales, and start sculpting metal. Graduate to a lathe and mill (non-CNC, plenty of tricks of trade to make curves and such. Or if prefer wooden things, you know what to do.

    But in most cases you don't need a 3D printer that oozes soft plastic crap.

    Jesus also had harsh words for the religious leaders of the day. ""Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are."
