Astroturf in the 3D marketplace - for some reason Youngstown Ohio does have much use for 3D printers, and not many jobs are being created. Does anyone else here thing the piles of grant money should have been distributed to library districts across the entire country instead of porkbarreled to individual congressional districts?

Well - since Coolville Ohio got left out - I guess I agree - the library idea would have been great use of the funds.

I have used our local library for a few 3D parts - but the limited time-frame they allow a user (~60min.) is way too confining. It’s great to introduce someone to 3D printing but it also requires someone on staff capable of the care and maintenance of the printers and computers used.

Misallocate resources. It’s what central planners do.
