As much as I admire the Dremel-on-a-Makerbot projects… wow. [thanks, Brandon]

    If this is the future of machining….I love what I see. The finish is incredible.

    Please don’t use the word “porn” in this blog. It’s inappropriate. Thanks.

      I disagree.

      Censorship sucks.

      I agree.

      I see the writer’s intent however, so maybe “CNC Eye Candy” would be appropriate? I watched it twice, and almost drooled on the keyboard.

      It is an awesome demonstation of what is available today. Nice find.

      When the word porn is used to describe non-sexual things, it still carries a connotation of over-the-top indulgence. Google “war porn” and “consumer porn” if you don’t believe me.

      I think it’s pretty pr0nographic to throw this much high-tech machining prowess into a product that no one will ever wear. I can think of lots more useful things to do with a block of metal that size… but it sure is fun to look at!
