- tempodox 12y agoI shan't link Too bad, you could have stolen the entire HN user base in one fell swoop.
- AlyssaRowan 12y agoI don't think this is that kind of site! ;) Seriously, you can find Bad Dragon with a Google search if you're curious, provided safe search is off naturally, and don't expect autocomplete! They're very exotic designs, often quite large (we have one as a present from a friend, largely as a conversation starter... or stopper!) and the kind of niche low-volume manufacturing in complex shapes that 3D printing can work out well for.
- Shinkei 12y agoSerious question: Why not link to it? I am certainly not a HN 'veteran,' but I've never seen censorship on here. Is there some unspoken rule that these comments can't have sexual content?

- sbierwagen 12y agoThe Bad Dragon sex toys I've handled aren't 3d printed. (You wouldn't expect them to be, since 3d printer output is rigid plastic, which you don't want a sex toy to be, and covered with fine ridges, which you really don't want a sex toy to be.) It's possible that the molds are 3d printed, but if they are, it's using a printer with amazing surface finish, and Bad Dragon's never said anything about using 3d printing. Much more likely they're using conventional manufacturing processes.
