3D Printer
I just can't wait for the Better Homes and Gardens list of helpful tips for household reuse of sixteen-inch acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene phalluses.
Title text: I just can't wait for the Better Homes and Gardens list of helpful tips for household reuse of sixteen-inch acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene phalluses.

Explanation

Jeff's explanation:

It is true. 3D Printers are starting to get better and better. As the comic suggests, just don't put them online like fax machines.

In the image text, Better Homes and Gardens is an American magazine that as the name suggests, shows you how to make your home and garden better.

Also in the image text, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene or ABS is a light-weight and moldable plastic which makes it perfect for 3D printers.

Godammit, that refill cartridge was expensive too. Davidy²²[talk] 09:22, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Wouldn't this completely invert their targeted market? 162.158.177.11 18:07, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Four years later... 3D printers cost $400 and they are found hardly anywhere. 625571b7-aa66-4f98-ac5c-92464cfb4ed8 (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Although, relatively speaking, $400 isn't a whole lot of money for a 3D PRINTER. (Also they used to cost $5000.) Beanie (talk) 11:13, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
Ten years later and you can buy a decent printer for $300. And a kilogram of print material is $20. I love the future. 162.158.154.150 20:07, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Charles Stross used penis-creating viruses for 3D printers in his book Rule 34.Spauldo (talk) 01:58, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

172.68.238.55My interpretation of spam mail with 3d printed penises is that spammers would 3d print oversized dildos and physically send them.
