LOCAL MAN’S ATTEMPT TO USE 3D PRINTER TO BUILD FORD F-150 A FAILURE

Preston Snatch already had a 3D printer, and he wanted a new pickup truck.  Snatch, 37, who had previously only used the printer to make some homemade nose strips for himself and a couple of dozen plastic shoehorns for friends, decided to use the device to build a Ford F-150.

Preston Snatch’s first attempt to use a 3D printer to build a Ford F-150 was a failure

“It didn’t turn out well at all,” he said while pointing to a wrinkled mishmash of white-colored truck detritus.  “First, the computer wouldn’t talk to the printer, and after getting that fixed, the print nozzles began spitting and the parts got jammed in the tray.  Maybe I should have aligned the print heads after all.”

Snatch said he tried to call technical support but couldn’t get through.  “The recording said they’re closed for Maha Shirvaratri.”
