It's mildly hilarious to me that the phallus depicted herein is non-human, absolutely no one has mentioned it, and we're all just discussing the engineering. The Alabama legislature must be having a fit.
I bought a 3D printer for under $200 a year ago, and it has been the absolute best investment I have made in years, and doubly so. It would have been worth it as an educational tool alone, I have learned so much (and so quickly) about CAD and mechanical engineering in general. It inspired me to buy books and hardware and poke at things.
On top of that, it is also practical. I have printed parts for things for less money and in less time than it would take to go get from the hardware or auto parts store. Car wouldn't pass inspection without seatbelt cover thing? 3D printed. (Don't worry, it's a decorative plastic part, not a safety-critical part...) That alone paid for the cost of the printer.
I'm making electromechanical devices and the corresponding software now, for no dollars, at home, with no help and very few tools. It's amazing, the possibilities!
$2 Arduino + plastic + software + minor components = ???
What a time to be alive.
- ofrzeta 5y agoWhat printer did you buy?
- drzoltar 5y agoCould you recommend a beginner 3D-printer?
- BillieRuben 5y agoWhat do you want to make? What's your budget? How handy are you?
- hackarimoo 5y agoSpeaking of budget, it'd probably be possible to save quite a lot of money on silicone by using a different, cheaper material as the "core" of the toy. As long as the surface isn't exposed, it doesn't matter if it's sterile or not, all it needs is to be sufficiently durable and flexible for your needs.
- esyir 5y agoPrusa i3 MK3S. Kit if you want to DIY a bit, standalone if you don't. I've saying this because it's a complete, stable, easy to use 3d printer from what I understand, with minimal troubleshooting/tinkering to get it to work. \Good support too from what I gather. The catch is the price, it's in the upper end for it's spec, but you pay either in money or time.
- makeset 5y agoIf you want it to just work and work well, the answer is Prusa Mini+ (with the optional filament sensor) or the larger Prusa i3 MK3S+. Anything cheaper and you're looking at your new hobby to be fixing and tinkering with your 3D printer.
- hattmall 5y agoCan you give some details on your projects? I bought one and haven't made anything other than a few microcontroller cases and things to do drugs with.
- ncmncm 5y agoFunny you mention it: she could make phalluses of all different members of the animal kingdom, and determine empirically which one is "best". Betting human isn't. Bonobo, maybe.
- fho 5y agoActually, humans have relatively large male genitals relative to body size when compared with other animals. (I am at work ... so no way I am looking up sources for that ;-) )
- ncmncm 5y agoIs size disposative? Whales win.
