I'm sorry but all I could see in the video was this.

Does anyone have any personal experience making bootleg Legos with a 3d printer? I'm just curious because it sounds like something people would do yet I've heard nothing of it nor Lego condemning it. Do they just come out as megablocks tier so no one bothers?

3D printing will never be viable for easily attainable mass produced items that are made using plastic injection molding. As others have said, it's cheaper and quicker to just buy a box of Lego.
The only time it would be worthwhile to 3D print Lego is to make custom pieces.

3d printing is best for rapid prototyping, but if you want an example of a commercial hobby where it would be advantageous to own a 3D printer, think Warhammer/games workshop stuff.

The positives are that Chris is getting way better with makeup to cover up dark circles and aging, the bad thing is he has done nothing to cover up the stubble or hair loss. I just can't understand how he has lost so much hair from one month to the next.

Strangely, if Chris actually used his CADD certificate, he could actually figure out how to design stuff on a 3D printer as stuff has to get modeled. Or he could actually make more money modeling 3D print stuff for people for a lot more than making medallions (though that would involve actual work and I doubt he'd have the patience to spend more than 5 minutes a project).

There are sites where he could reach out to find local people who'll do 3D prints (I'm partial to 3Dhubs.com myself) but if he wants to resell whatever he makes, he can't do it economically. At least from my experience, 3D printing sucks for anything remotely detailed (I've tried getting 3D prints of RPG miniatures and they all sucked balls and the guy who printed them complained it took him 12 hours just to get them to print out). I tell people it's a neat technology but we're dealing with a technology in the Apple IIe phase - we're going to be viewing modern 3D printers the same way we view those laptops that weighed 30 pounds, the cellphones that looked like bricks, and the old dot matrix printers where you had to tear the edges off.

As others stated, I doubt Chris remembers much from that 2 year course that he begrudgingly stretched into 5 years. Why, he probably has to look up the information on his facebook page or elsewhere to remember what the initials on his diploma stand for.
