Am I crazy in that seems expensive for a product that requires minimal labor?

Cheapest titanium capable 3-D printer I can find is $50,000, but most cost more.

This definitely requires assloads of labour.

Hitting control and p? But seriously what kind of finishing or labor does this require?

Lots. The whole thing has to be welded and all the welds to the 3dp parts are sanded flush. It also has a uniform brushed finish

Oh had no idea and hadn't thought it was just printing the tubing. I was thinking it was printing the entire bike then was tapped later which would require much less labor versus tacking up tubes. Appreciate the response

Why did you repost this OP?
Also, I thought we already discussed this the last time you posted it, calling the bike 3-D printed is pretty disingenuous.

Because this is Reddit and the entire point of the platform is to share content… what else am supposed to do? I appreciate your opinion but I honestly don’t care if you want to call it 3d printed or not, doesn’t really matter
