Anyone worried that 3d printing will soon become good enough to fabricate perfect duplicates/counterfeits of any figure ever, and the hundreds or thousands of dollars we spent on the "real" deal will have been for nothing?

If the Chinese can't even replicate the quality of premium figures today with all their machinery and factory tech, then No, 3D mush is still far from making the gradients on an intricately sculpted piece of underwear look awesome.

Maybe when 3D printing can account for paint-apps and joints.

Not really. It isn't going to be cost-effective for a very long time. Especially taking these things >>6050517 into account.

3D printed joints hold up fine. I 3D printed a figma crotch joint using a FDM printer and regular PLA and it's held up.

It definitely has to the potential to make garage kit toys easier to make. Designing figures in something like Zbrush, then printing them with a SLA printer, and then recasting them in cast resin is going to be a lot easier than the traditional clay->wax->recast workflow that garage kits tend to go through.

Not unless printers and printing material becomes both cheap as shit and extremely high quality.

2D digital printers can't even replicate the quality of photo prints from 150 years ago. At best, they can replicate b&w monochrome prints, putting them somewhere around 300BC Chinese technology and the Gutenberg press. It's going to be a while.

If they ever become that good, I'll welcome it.

It's still not very economical for producing counterfeits/knockoffs. It's like using $10 worth of materials to produce a $1 bill.

No, because you got what you wanted with that money.
How can be that "for nothing"?
It's not always about paying the least amount of money for your hobby, stop being so cheap.

Soccermoms who do yoga and drink smoothies would argue otherwise.

I do some work in antique dealing. Cast-iron bulldog nutcrackers? Fakes. Every fucking one of em.

But people still buy em, and the people who give a shit still pay top dollar for the rare real ones.

Fakes don't devalue the real thing if people continue to care about the history.

>account for paint apps
How the fuck-
Do GARAGE KITS account for paint apps? Or gunpla kits? No, but they can have color coded sprues and parts. 3d printing can do that.
You act like manufactured figures come out the mold fucking painted dude.

>joints
Is actually a fair point. But I think people always try to design 3d print joints as if they're injection molded, but if you think printer friendly many of the joints can be simulated. Hinges, ball joints etc.
Also, hobby base?
Joint SIZE is definitely an issue though. Past a certain size no matter what material 3d print joints are too fragile.
