Somebody said, just 3D print a replacement part... Can 3D printers print parts in high-carbon steel??

I'm sure they can, you'd just need something like a wire feed welder instead of an inkjet and viola! Or voila, if you're french.

I think Bruce posted a video of a guy who built a 3-d cement jet printer and went of to print a castle.

And Bruce, the reason for the spaghetti shaped frame is that you'd never really know if they repaired it or not. They could do anything, really, and most of us would say, "Looks legit."

@ Snake, I have a shit ton of washers, does that mean I can get busy with a special group captive lady monkey? I mean for science's sake.

They programmed future deception into the computer?

I read they are printing with aluminum. The aluminum is melted in a furnace then flows into a nozzle where it's superheated by induction until there is enough pressure to blow out one drop. I'd be concerned how homogeneous the finished piece is. Have to assume someone is looking at that, because I didn't pay all those taxes to school those little fuckers for nothing.

They hope to be printing with steel soon, but I'll bet it's not high carbon or high strength steel.

I'll stick with Viking crucible steel, carbon-boosted with the bones of my ancestors.

Viking Sword, "Ulfberht" or +VLFBERHT+

What kind of conspiracy theorist are you? Give back your tinfoil hat until you adjust your attitude, young man.
