I'm just waiting for the inevitability of when 3D printing really takes off and the people who made that "you wouldn't download a car" anti-piracy ad first start to realise how wrong they were.
it'll all be worth it for that, alone.

Sure, I guess, I you totally want a non-working plastic car.
you really think shitty fall-apart plastic is gonna be where this technology caps out?
you think that'll be as far as we take it?
also, don't they already have industrial versions that work with metal?
behold, the future!
that right there, that's the Zuse Z3-equivalent of 3D printing in metal. the moment it reaches the Commodore 64-level, I'm'll download me a pirated 1942 Indian Army Scout.
Unless you can get a printer that replicates an entire factory production line, you're not going to get a working vehicle.
Not to mention you actually have to pay for the materials that printer prints. That's a cars worth of metal, rubber, glass silicone and rare earth elements.
At the point "printers" can fabricate working electronic machinery? Nobody is going to give a flying ******** about downloading.
