    The 3D Printing April Fools Jokes Begin

    I always get a kick out of April Fools. Well the jokes have already begun it looks like. I have a feeling we will get several big time blogs having April Fools posts around the 3D printing market, so if you see any, post them right here please! Last year we had the Play-doh 3D printer story: http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/1202...ek-april-fools

    1. How about a 3D Printed Sandwich? (http://www.makerfaireuk.com/)


    2. New 3D Printed Ammo Saves Us From ammo Shortages (http://www.guns.com/2014/04/01/new-3...-ammo-drought/)

    3. How about the Chinese 3D Printing 10 homes for $4800? (http://www.3ders.org/articles/201404...-in-a-day.html)


    4) McDonalds to 3D print Their Big Macs: (http://www.itproportal.com/2014/04/0...out-to-follow/)

    This one made me chuckle: http://www.makerfaireuk.com/

    Imagine how much it would splatter with the printhead being so high above the print surface, especially the high water content in tomatoes ;-)

    Pretty sure that #3 there isn't an april fools. Though the buildings clearly weren't printed-in-place, and the roofs and trusses don't appear to be printed in most of them... And I can believe that they're around $4800 each rather than total. Small put important mistakes in the reporting.

    ...So pretty par for the course for 3Ders.org really.
