When 3D Printing Goes Wrong

3D printing is a big leap forward on the printing scene, a sector mostly known for being frustratingly unreliable.

Standard printers are the bane of most office-workers lives. The toner is low, the paper has jammed, error code 122##12##3, please see your system administrator, yes I know you wanted it on A4 but I decided to do it on A1 paper.

3D printers are set to be a lot more useful than the old type, but like all fledgling technology, it’s bound to have some issues along the way. Here’s a selection of pictures that users have posted of their subpar 3D-printing results.
