    I love how 3d printed goods for the general public always try to make PLA sound like something super special… “100% colored bio-resin” bro it’s PLA it’s 20 bucks per kilo

    A hundred and fifty euros for a PLA print, with obvious layer lines? Good lord!

    So after currency conversions, that’s . . . $65CAD for maybe $2CAD of filament (depending on the exact size of those busts)?!

    Supplying that shop must be a nice gig if you can get it . . .

      Years ago my wife and I were in Rome and went to Vatican City. All the tourist places nearby had this lenticular print of Jesus face as he hung on the cross. Hold it one way and his eyes were closed. Change the angle slightly and his eyes open. It was sooooo overwhelmingly tacky. Now I wished I’d bought it because it WAS so tacky.

    It sounds like a lot, but it looks like this in a museum gift shop. Their profit margins on these prints are probably comparable to anything else in the shop, but a lot of people don’t mind if it’s a nonprofit they want to support.

      Yes, this is the official gift shop in the Roman Coliseum. I found it really strange that they would be selling 3d prints. It’s like, why?? If you want to sell plastic souvenirs, surely injection-molded plastic would be much more efficient, cost-effective, and higher quality.

      It feels like maybe the gift-shop managers kid “had a great idea” for his new toy.
