I give it a year max until they sell articulated dragons for 80 bucks lmao

Dr David Mills@gigabecquerel I will never feel bad about visible layer lines in my prints again
@dtl Just tell yourself it's a design feature, duh ;-)
I wonder how they printed these. A mm or two of extrusion width and maybe half a mm of layer height screams giant nozzle, and if I had to bet, probably multiple extruders to produce a couple of these per hour.
Marcus Müller@gigabecquerel @dtl I'm extremely confused as to why someone would take the money- and energy wasting route of 3D printing mass thermoplastic products that could be injection-molded. But I guess that's the point, somehow. Somehow selling people a "green" product, with a production method that gives them the feeling it's artisanal, but literally is just complex over-generalized automation with added low-wage labor steps. Beautiful.
Henning Paul DC4HP@hennichodernich @gigabecquerel @dtl Even better than low-wage labor: Unpaid labor!

jaseg@hennichodernich @funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl lol yeah that's all standard filament colors. The ONE thing where they could easily distinguish themselves from randos printing extremely similar models - having an actually nice color palette and sourcing customized filament - they didn't bother to do.
@jaseg tbf, their selling point seems to be that they do polymer recycling, which would indeed limit color choices to brown or black, if you're not going for extremely clean recycled (probably PET) plastics. Which, huh, is something you get out of e.g. packaging lines, not at all out of private households' recycling as they advertise
@funkylab @jaseg @hennichodernich @dtl
Somewhat unrelated but I love how they call their line "Aqua" and make it out of a non-water-resistant plastic.

std_logic_vector@gigabecquerel That's why they have to sell it with a glas to put inside ("Inklusive Glaseinsatz").
F4GRX Sébastien@hennichodernich @funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl pair of techbros found a lucrative business use of their prusa "investment"
@funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl What I find puzzling about this is that they seemingly didn't bother to even have the filament color customized, the colors on the bottom shelf look garish. Also it doesn't seem that they treated the interior surface for water-tightness, which is surprising for a vase at that price point.
@jaseg @gigabecquerel @dtl I honestly think of the vases on that shelf, only the beige "bubbly-bottomed" one looks as if putting flowers in it would not be an insult to whoever gave you these flowers (and that beige one is just not a pretty vase), so that's not really surprising. These are not vases for people that like beautiful things.
@funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl most of these would be too small to hold more than one or a handful of flowers anyway. There's reasons vases for holding bouquets of flowers are usually big and wide. Mechanical stability, visual balance, and also just that flowers need a decent quantity of water to survive.
@funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl But then, a flower vase also needs to be cleanable because the water can get pretty mucky, and I doubt the 3DP layer lines make that easy.
@funkylab @gigabecquerel @dtl I think for this concept to work well, you'd have to (1) make them a size that's uncomfortably large for 3D printing, (2) coat the inside in a thick, smooth layer of epoxy or arcrylic resin to make it watertight and easy to clean, and (3) choose a decent color palette.
