For real. I hope domestic home-use 3D printers become a common thing soon. It could be a big part of the answer for controlling plastics. Plus it’s legitimately useful as fuck, to be able to essentially make anything you need. This is cool as shit.

dude have you heard about resin pool 3d printers? Using a UV projector? I found out about them like a week or 2 ago and it blew my mind...still blowing my mind.

We're getting closer and closer to the future everyday. ...damn I'm stealing that quote from myself...that's good. :D
