People are making their own CNC mills (3 or4 axis) that can make stuff faster and better than comparable 3D printers. Why bother making something out of crappy plastic string when you could mill it out of decent plastic or even aluminium?

I just use machine shops. If you can do a technical drawing worth a gently caress and understand simple stuff like stock bar sizes and tool radii so that the machinists don't have to think about it you can get it all machined for cheap.

idk gears arent some space age magic, they were bashing them out of copper like a million years ago with zero repeatability and poo poo still worked

The trick with 3d printers is to makes your gears really huge. The tolerance gets better the bigger your gear. The age of smaller gagets is over. Now comes a race to bigger and bigger sprockets and hosed up steam punk gears and poo poo.

It's going to be awful and hilarious all in one

That ad resonates with me. A fat internet pipe is all that's keeping me from 3d printing a fried egg- and dragon mousse.
