      I wonder how long before someone makes a DRM based home use 3D printer that can be used for small items. You pay for a license to a model to print and it can print X number of them before the license expires.

        I'm very happy that you mentioned that, this is something with DRM that I could get behind!

              ...and prints phallic objects.

              @thecreativeone91 I was thinking about some kind of SSL or encrypted system similar to encrypted printing; where all you can see is the end product. I assume that anyone with a 3D scanner could just scan the original piece to begin with.

              I was going to promote an idea but it already exists. I might build a printer soon.
