ok so this 3d technology now exists . looks pretty cool right? imagine for a moment a time that comes in the not to far future. maybe less than twenty years but more than five.
are we really that far aways from being able to walk into a store and tell them what we need and have it made onsite while you wait.
perhaps it sounds crazy but for a lot of us the thought of a 3 d printer would have sounded pretty crazy thirty years ago.
i mean sure enough there would have to be a lot of things change in order for this to work in any practical way however...
i am not entirely convinced we wont see a day where you could walk into a shop if you call it that and have pretty much anything your mind can dream up manufactured for you.
this post most likely wont be for everyone however the tie in for boomboxes is there.
i think i have seen some things that show three dimensional printers being used to print all kinds of prototypes. some of the things some quite durable. even a pair of shoes can be found if you poke around a bit.
so i ask what time frame are we looking at before you could print a knob if you needed one. i mean yeah there is a lot of ifs and hows that need to be considered but after viewing a ton of these three d printer videos i kind of think there is something to them.
i guess while there is the electronic part to be considered wich is a big part of the thing but, i believe the day will come where you can have pretty much anything you want in terms of consumer goods.
a store will consist of some type of three d printer and rapid prototyping technology like what they use in these videos. allthough it will be expanded on and there is lots of things that need to happen before such a device can exist.
imagine it for a moment.
" hey i want a m90 " so you head to the three d printer place and your m90 is ready in a couple of days or so.
better yet you can design whatever you want and the machine makes it for you.
i am kind of thinking that as crazy my idea might sound that it is more than likely end up being a reality for those who can afford it. i mean the printers i see right now would seem magical fifty years ago.
i mean the idea of having things made in china then shipped here seems pretty dated.
i mean imagine the potential for making money with a three d printer that could print any button knob dial or switch you wanted. i mean not just for boomboxes but for anything.
i just know that day is going to come and i have a feeling i might have more grey hair than i do now but i think i will see it in my life time.

I say we all pitch in and buy one to remake boombox parts.
