Why does it need to be a pod??

[–] nutsack@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

that's true. it could be a garbage disposal instead

Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won't be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.

My print keeps failing! Can I just use a trash barrel? Lol. I don't understand at all why one would need or want to 3D print anything.
