    My mind is running wild at all the awesome, interesting, weird and frightening possibilities of this technology

    This 3D printer is being developed more and more everyday. It is very possible it will be something in the majority homes in the future.

    There are many uses besides living tissues, and a lot can be done with this.

    Is it bad that my first reaction was to print limbs and send them to random people in the mail?

    Haha, yeah! Or maybe just hiding fingers all over the house in strange places... that'd be fun.

    It's like the DVD/Blu Ray player. Or even the microwave. Heck, even cell phones.

    Started out being hella expensive and no one had one. Starting out being pretty big too.

    Over time, it got more advanced, smaller and cheaper.

    Now pretty much everyone has one.

    Worried my first thought was
    hyper realistic dildos

    (it would also be very useful for trans* surgery I expect)
