    Lightbulb 3D Print Carbon Fiber!

    Wow!! I found a 3D printer that can print nylon, fiberglass, and CARBON FIBER. It's $5500 for the standard version, but for $8800 you can get the pro version which also prints KEVLAR (you know, what they use to make bulletproof body armor!).

    Sorry I'm just excited and amazed and I really want one!

    If somebody with capital and an entrepreneurial spirit would go ahead and order one of these bad boys, then they could totally start selling lots of smaller/mundane items in carbon fiber (toothbrushes, glasses cases, nail clippers, combs, those little buckles on packs, etc.) Heck, they might even be able to print alcohol stoves if they had the right high-temperature resin!

    I would definitely buy this if I had the idea. It would be cool to try to market the "smaller/mundane items" on the AT.
