Towards the *fully* 3D-printed electric cars.

then one can go beyond it. Print a layer then fan, or print a layer and embed sand particles, or print onto previously printed blanks to save time etc.

The first televisors were pretty crude too. 30 lines, 2" screen, no sync. Today almost everyone in the 1st world has access to tv. Strati was not meant to be a quality car, it was just meant to function.

The point that he is incapable of grasping the points.

Ie one can use thick layers followed by progressively finer, and a fine finish. Among other techniques.

Plastic containing metal powder can cool faster due to more thermal conduction. Printing onto 5 sides not 1 may or may not have its place. Preprinted blanks can be printed onto. Household objects don't need to be printed fast anyway. etc etc etc.

Always gracious in defeat, is Jim.

You said "three units". GWh is a "unit".

Pointless; he just wants to argue until there is a "winner" and keeps spinning off in tangents.

Jim Pennino

I am sorry that you can no longer follow complex arguments. Perhaps I could summarise for you?

Ah. Electricity here is sold in kWh, known across the nation as 'units'

why not print pizza.... ? should be a huge demand for that...

I saw a pancake printer at Makerfest a few years ago. The pancakes were pretty good tasting too.

Why would you print, rather than extrude?

Some people are monomaniacal about 3D printing.

Jim Pennino

Yes, you are, and the rest of us wish you would STFU.

You are What you do When it counts.

I guess the difference is the size of the dot. Pancakes are just a big dot.

Pizza is a big dot, with smaller dots on it. embedded dots.
