Over the last year, I have kept a list of funny or just plain stupid remarks made about 3D printing by all types of people. Many should know better. Quotes I have overheard, were directly said to me or stories I was told by friends. People say the daftest things. I will take the 5th on which ones I am personally responsible for uttering but the clue is I don’t like heights very much.
One or two of them tickled me and I thought why not share them.
-
“the Dyson is broken. I ain’t waiting 3 weeks for a bit that holds the pipe on. Either buy a new one or you 3D print one tonight?”.
-
“Who is Yoda? Sounds like a Russian make of car” – those using Thingiverse will get it.
-
“I promise my cherie not to start another 3D print after 10 p.m.”
-
Stepping into an aircraft – “don’t, I hate flying, just don’t say anything on here was made with a Makerbot”.
-
“Does your 3D printer have a volume control, Eastenders is about to start on the t.v.?”
-
“It’s connected. Do you think the NSA can spy on my 3D printer?”
-
“Don’t know about making kidneys but can somebody please 3D print our president a brain?”
-
“That is not a 3D printer, it is my adult toy manufacturing facility”.
-
“It was hit by Gremlins“.
-
“How can I stop Google putting ads for 3D printers on every web site I look at”.
-
Pointing downwards to the nether region – “I can assure you that was not 3D printed”.
-
“There’s space I tell you, the microwave can go in the garage”.
-
Brainstorming session – “What about 3D printing chips. Vegas here we come”.
-
“it is not expensive but I agree, you can’t eat filament”.
-
“I think 3D printing is hyped but additive manufacturing is going to be huge”.
Please send me any gems that you have. I will publish a 3D printing christmas special.
