I thought all drugs were 3-D, man. I mean, at least, right?

Me: What are 3d printed drugs?

FTA

He swapped out a kilogram of cocaine from evidence with a 3D-printed version, according to court documents, per the Associated Press. He sprinkled the 3D-printed brick with real cocaine so that it appeared to be real,

Oh, he printed a prop.

They gotta focus on the "3d printed" part for those sweet sweet clicks.

Got me excited for a second! I'd be 3d printing drugs all the time.

Why didn't anyone tell me I could 3D print my own cocaine

These atomic printers are such a hassle. I just want to print some organic compounds, but it's complaining that the copper level is low!

God damnit Ea-nāṣir! I thought we already had this discussion!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 44 minutes ago

You never replied!

. . . that we know of. Yet.

I got one of those HP atomic printers, and now it won’t print my gun part until I replace the yellow cartridge.

For a sec I thought he'd replaced it with Warhammer models.

He told Judge Wendy Berger that his actions were due to a receiving a cancer diagnosis and being afraid of not being able to provide for his family if he died

Are we gonna call this the "breaking bad" defence now?

Also, this is extremely marginally related to 3d-printing TBH

Could it be a push to legislate ownership and use of 3d printers which are responsible for drug and firearms? Someone please think of the children.

Sometimes these clown fake news do feel like that

How do you 3d print powder?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You don't, this guy just 3d printed a brick and sprinkled it with coke

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

Oh, ffs, he replaced powder with a brick? Would've been better off to cut it with talc.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Make a sealed box with an SLS printer so it's full of the powder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Would love to see a picture of that
