  1. Wow this comment section is bad.
    People unsubbing for a misleading title? You gotta remove half your subscriptions then lol
    People saying the quality dropped? The only evidence they have is the title.
    So much hate over that title man
  2. the only places with 3d printers in my town is my room and a local colege
  3. Vomito
  4. is there any point in buying a 3D printer? The technology is just too new.
  5. this is the future guys..!!!!! this is the future..............
  6. I hate click baits DISLIKED!!! 
  7. native advertising
  8. I have a few thing I wish I could print
  9. Nice video
  10. Nobody appreciates clickbate.
  11. such a misleading title : immediate dislike.

    fuck you too, douchebag.
  12. Thank you, capitalism.
  13. While the title is misleading.. I found one funny thing in the video.. The sponsoring of inkjet printers on a video about 3D printing.. Just a bit ironic.
  14. Clickbait. Stupidest thing I've heard in I don't know how long...probably since Wired Magazine declared the internet to be dead.
  15. Dnews.
    That 'D' should now stand for 'Dishonest' 
    Thanks  for the click-bait title. 9_9
  16. I think the person writing the title accidently put 3d because 3d printing is the future not the past.
  17. I'm confused how people think this is click bait...
  18. I'm printing a 15cm tall glow in the dark Yoda right now!
  19. What's wrong with clickbait? I loved this video.
    I tend to love all DNews/Test Tube vids, except when they get politically correct about Pisslam... saying it's not wrong and all that fuck. I disagree with religion as it is, they're all viruses to me... but Pisslam is like the ebola of religions.
  20. Cannon sucks.  Could they have crammed any more commercial time into this video?
