Honestly filling those whole with anything that can stop the remote doing it is great

At some point we need to ask ourselves what we really need & what we don’t need.

Especially where there is a price (I mean more plastics & supporting the industry/system & environmental impact – not just the current financial cost).

The environmental impact of 3D printing is minimal compared to the industrial levels of waste making by corporations.

Sure, but that doesn’t mean we should just print garbage because others are doing worse.

What each individual defines as garbage is up to them. I’m certain there are very very few people who are literally printing garbage on purpose with their 3D printers.

And again the scale of waste is like 2 trillion to 1 comparing corporations to independent hobbyists 3D printing parts.

Being able to 3D print also allows one to repair things that otherwise would just have to be tossed in a landfill because some critical plastic piece broke.

And it allows users to create their own one-off objects that they need rather than a corporation creating an immense surplus of parts the majority of which will never reach consumer hands and will end up in a landfill.

Taking offense at people who 3D print for being bad for the environment is just concern trolling at this point.

I’m all for 3d printing things for myself, especially when they serve a purpose and not just a little display piece.

Even if you are creating a display piece and not something functional, it’s something you are making for yourself, and a limited number of them. You aren’t mass producing Funko Pops of which millions will end up in a land fill.

What is the toilet for?

It’s upside down, looks like he/she designed one to go in the side between the cushion and the chair arm. Actually a pretty smart idea.

This reminds me of that guy on reddit who would make useless inventions. I wonder how he’s doing.

Dude that was fucking horrible. Remind me not to test inventions when they involve my neck and a motor.
