Yeah but it's fast enough, light, portable, repairable, can be setup directly in your bunker in the middle of the wood if needed, etc. You're still thinking like it's 1990 | ||

3D printing will remain constrained by fragile centralized supply chains for feedstock until someone develops an effective practical decomposer/recomposer that can break down common plastics into their constituent monomers, oligomers, or other reusable chemical building blocks and then reform them into high-quality filament or resin on demand. And then, the next step for deco/reco will be the metal frontier. Unless you think you're only going to need a couple spools to get the job done before never using the thing again. | ||

And where do you get in the woods all the other mass produced parts needed for a drone, like chips, sensors, engine, battery, ..? Unfortunately 3d printers ain't replicators yet. So yeah, if you have special needs, modifying a special ops drone, or simple part printing, they are great. Or like I said, distributed manufactoring. | ||
