+Belias Phyre you're 100% right. The problem is, we as a society have lost respect for DIY culture and hand crafting. Or, the most hand crafting people will do is whatever 5 minute tutorial they can find on youtube can teach them, painting figurines, assembling model planes, etc. There's a video showing how to make ballistic plates from kevlar and resin for 30 bucks but people in the comments complain that the 30 bucks doesn't include belt sander, band saw and the HORROR: clamps. Tools you could find in the average shed or garage.
However, you release files for 3d printers, which tech websites love and people think it's just a press of a button, and in the minds of society you've abolished gun control forever. Even though pipe, files, hacksaw and some solder have always undermined gun legislation, people don't understand that.
I haven't watched the whole video but the reason he released a re-programmable cnc was probably because he understood the limitations of 3d printing, but it was the 3d printing fad that allowed him to get "famous".
