At first I was like : "whaaaat" then I got it :-) It is a project to load a STL file into laser guide that will outline a shape on a surface and then a PERSON will manually deposit hot glue or some other material. Layer by layer, 3d "printed" object will be completed. So it is a HUMAN 3D PRINTER!!!! |
| Yes, you will be human 3d printer |
 |
| Overview of the whole idea |
 |
| Prototype of the laser that will guide you in your manual human operated 3d printing |
The project is under development, all the details can be found here:

It doesn't get more DIY than this :-)
I hope it will be successfully finished and documented :-)
... or maybe it is a joke / prank / statement about technology ... hmmmm ... we will see ...
PS: the term "sculptor" comes to mind ...
Update (9.10.2014.):
Full tutorial for this project is released, now you can make your own laser guide that will make you into human 3d printer :-)
All the details can be found at:
http://www.instructables.com/id/Become-Your-Own-3D-Printer/?ALLSTEPS
Project is developed by Laura Devendorf and it is an articulated laser pointer that draws g-code output path which can be followed by human operator and filled with various materials to create a 3d object.
