Teortaxes counters doubts about everyday 3D printing by spotlighting its use for fast FPV drone tweaks, a pattern that has taken hold where builders need to swap frames and payloads quickly rather than wait on factory orders.
3D printing is really really good for fast iteration of FPV drones Very popular hobby in ex-USSR (mainly Russia and Ukraine)
why is it that 3d printing is still ~useless?
like if i bought one, it would do ~nothing to improve my life.
why cant i print (good) shoes yet? clothes? a (good) tooth brush? consumer electronics (minus the chips)?
Like fuck. the world doesnt need another damn benchy or vase
Ukrainian teams adapt airframes to new jamming threats on a roughly six-week cycle, relying on nearby printers to produce replacements in hours instead of the days or weeks traditional supply chains require.
Ukraine and Russia show documented print farms and volunteer output at scale, yet reports of equally advanced FPV projects in Japan remain mostly anecdotal with less mainstream confirmation so far.
Users in the replies express amazement at hobbyists' advanced 3D printing capabilities for FPV drones, noting its surprising popularity and results in Japan too.

@teortaxesTex Super super popular hobby in Japan too. I've been absolutely shocked with what some of the twitter hobbyists are capable of

@teortaxesTex can you tell more about it 😳😘
